as night approaches across the globe, illuminating nations

I regard the power of this mystical night and the wishes being made from under its veil

ignite, dear one, you are a firework painting the sky

fuel your passions and chase the stars

love freely, love openly, love relentlessly

guard your heart against that which seeks to harm it

but never once shed a tear for feeling as you do

for loving as you do

for that is a choice you make without penalty

discover new chances, new worlds, new things

become enlightened, awakened, enchanted in this life and all it possesses

you are a force of nature, one to be reckoned with

facing a year as unpredictable as the seas

but you yourself are a tempest, waiting to be unleashed

let go, I say 

and ignite!
