I’m going to valorise your life 

My friend 

Remind the very earth 

Roots and soil

That you exist 

Exist wonderfully 

Uniquely 

Brightly 

Your worth is within you 

It’s in the music of your voice 

The expanse of your heart 

Every selfless intention 

Every act of kindness

It’s in the diamond-pointed days 

You struggled to get through 

But you did 

And you do 

And you will 

The universe is full of stars we haven’t seen 

They shine no dimmer 

The ocean is full of bioluminescence 

Whether or not anyone is there 

In the heart of the forest 

Trees quietly blossom 

You are no different to these things 

Take heart in your glimmer 

And the glow in your depths 

Let the sun 

Rest on your branches 

Just for a while 

The work is hard 

In the void 

The deeps 

And the tangled woods 

In the cool, calm darkness 

The light belongs to you
