SHINE By Christo Diata

To: Day Acoli

One Day rises into
The sun
Her voice
Vibrates
Her youth
Excels
Excellence
Within her grasp
To wish for
To hope for
To work for
Her goals
Seeing indescribable
Reflections
In the pond
Of brown skin
Birthed of water
Turned into flame
A young star
Lighting her
Limited universe
With unlimited thought
To grow
To be
Truth
Among those
Silent in lies
Lying
Dormant
When ever the time
For change comes
They rather cum
Than learn to fly
So one day
Past her birth
Less one day
Of a year more
Of her worth
I look forward to her change
Into
Light
Beaconing self worth
Just by being you…
