SHINE ON {60s }

That was back when we never wanted the song to end
the music to stop
the sun to come up
without us
bearing witness to the new day
of hope
smiles and the solidarity
of love
knowing that each one of us
completed the circle
of our tribe
we dared that new day to come
and light our way
in the night we feared no darkness
for we were both light and dark
sun rays - star children - fireflies
bonfires
heart-pledging to shine, each one of us, in either light
as testaments of peace
togetherness
and the solidarity of love
