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
