Translucent

“You have to be transparent 
so you no longer cast a shadow 
but instead let the light pass through you.” 
― Kamand Kojouri

Translucent

Let the light be light, 

Cast it over, cast it bright

Allow the lines be shone

The spots and the ruffles

And all that's torn 

For what's tattered

Sew and re-worn

Don't cover the blush

The beauty and the beam

For what will shine through

let it shine from within 

Don't tilt, mellow

And cave

Don't block, waiver

And dim

Be free to be 

Like the leaves of lotus

And the petals of roses

Don't force it open

When the time is timely

What will bloom will bloom

What will wither will wither

A cycle is a cycle

What's not meant in time

Let it set and ripe

That's nature's greatest masterpiece

Your time when ready

You will be transformed

 Be translucent 

Let the light be light, 

Cast it over, cast it bright
