How Light Carries On

There’s a song that captures my heart every time I hear it. It tells a story of love and loss, and how precious the time is we that we spend together.

You taught me the courage
of stars before you left.
How light carries on endlessly
even after death.
With shortness of breath,

you explained the infinite.
How rare and beautiful it is
to even exist.

I couldn’t help but ask
For you to say it all again.
I tried to write it down
But I could never find a pen.
I’d give anything to hear
You say it one more time:
That the universe was made
Just to be seen by our eyes.

With shortness of breath,
I’ll explain the infinite
How rare and beautiful

it truly is
that we exist.

I love how the lyrics connect consciousness, the universe and our human relationships. Our deep connections with people inform, enrich, and expand us, forging us into the ones who hand down the wisdom.

When we share ourselves, we weave one another into the cosmos.
