Shadow or Shine

The depth of our thoughts 

Be they ocean bound or shoals

I believe is congruent

To the hue of our souls

It is not my intent to imply

Intellect is synonymous with creeds

But rather the more that we reflect

The greater the capacity of our deeds

We can help someone stand tall

Instead of knocking them down

We can pull them to the shore

Instead of watching them drown

For each of us is capable

Of both shadow and shine

But I hope you experience

At least a touch, of the divine
