Love Makes Ashes Gold

Without kindness, space becomes air-tight
and humanity suffers in continuous appetite.
Without charity, nothing can be white
as living is tormented plight after plight.
But without the sun, time can still be bright
a full moon and the galaxies make a beautiful night.

A society of good hearts gives the best sight
even when life bites, love makes it slight
making the quest for perfection an unnecessary fight
and ashes, powerful for beauty to recite.
Wind is needed for the flight of the kite
Numbers are important for the exhibition of might.
The world needs to be illuminated by this light
so let’s hold hands to reach this height
only then would we all live and be alright.
