And so, they lay down their heads and rested.
They let their voices rest
They lay their arms by their sides.
They curled up in the fetal position.
They covered the earth like a rug
And their tears blended with the rising oceans.

And they rested.
And when the time came to battle again,
they were ready.
Ready with ideas.
Ready with information.
Ready with passion.
Ready with love.
Ready with light.
Ready with righteous indignation.

This time they will not be denied.
The time will come.
The darkness cannot survive
In the face of all that light.

Rest now,
Then rise up
When the time is right.
Spread your wings
Spread your light.
Spread your love.

Shine. Shine on.
