'Light Work' - 100 Day Poetry Contest Day 96

You don’t have to wait.
Conditions do not have to be ‘perfect’ -
If there really is such a thing.
But waiting for them to be so is detrimental to your cause,
Because of course -
You just want to shine brightly,
To share your passion with the world -
You want to give your gifts so freely,
To every man,
Woman
Boy and Girl,
And let the extent of your truest love,
Fully Unfurl.
Well -
Just Do It.
Don’t delay in sharing your dreams today...
Get out on the street -
Just Do It your own way.
‘Cause if you wait...
Well maybe you’ll never make it happen.
Because the conditions that you say you need,
May well never come to be,
And so that fire inside of you,
May never be set free.
Tragically,
This is what happens to so many bright stars.
They come to shine their light,
But soon forget just what they are.
They fail to ignite,
So they don’t reach quite so far.
It’s bizarre.
Because that light should shine on throughout the entire universe.
But instead of blasting outward...
We often send it in reverse.
Going back inside the core of us,
Hiding away from the world around.
But there’s so much light within you -
It’s just waiting to be found.
