"Some say time is an illusion, others, time is of the essence but time is something we stand by, are comforted by, killed by, and helped by, therefore time is all in our heads, but who says something in our heads,  can't be real?" ~Wolfshadow

The waves will toss,
the ships will rock,
the sun can shine,
the storm can rage,
but those could never break your page,
the page you're writing,
the one of the places that you're lighting,
but when the time come to say goodbye,
just remember these words,
my voice shan't die,
comfort to sorrow can be managed,
but only if in your heart you allow them,
this world is run by nature but tamed by men,
as is your heart,
and so your instincts,
you are yourself,
and others are too,
so come on,
don't be blue,
you're here,
it's now,
so come and shine.

Originally I had this poem submitted by anonymous, but then I realized that by doing that I had totally blow away the message from the poem.
So please come out and shine everyone :)
