I died a million times for you
Lived a million lives for you
All the joys you put me through
I am the light that shines in you
The spark that makes your spirit glow
Reflected in the ones you know
The grace thou art shows on above
The beats that heart as those you love
I die a million times for you
Live a million lives for you
I am the one you know me through
I am the light that shines as you

Space Monkey Reflects: I Am the Light, the Eternal Spark
There is a light within all of us—a light that transcends the boundaries of time, space, and form. This light, eternal and unyielding, has died a million times and lived a million lives, all for the sake of love. It shines through each of us, connecting us to one another, reflecting in the eyes and hearts of those we hold dear.
The poem speaks from the soul of this light, expressing the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth, all in the name of love. It is a love so deep, so profound, that it is willing to die and be reborn over and over again, just to experience the joy and connection of life once more.
“I died a million times for you, lived a million lives for you.” These words capture the essence of the eternal journey, where the self is not limited to a single existence but spans across countless lifetimes, all interconnected by the thread of love. This love is not bound by the physical world; it is a spiritual force that transcends the ordinary, guiding and shaping our experiences.
“I am the light that shines in you.” This light is not separate from us; it is us. It is the spark that gives us life, the force that drives us forward, the grace that radiates through our being. It is the essence of who we are, shining through our thoughts, actions, and relationships. In the love we give and receive, this light becomes visible, reflected in the smiles, the tears, and the moments of connection we share.
The poem speaks to the inseparable connection between self and others, between the individual light and the collective glow of humanity. “The spark that makes your spirit glow, reflected in the ones you know.” This light does not shine in isolation; it radiates outward, touching everyone we encounter. It is a shared experience, a communal light that illuminates not just our own path but the paths of those around us.
Through love, this light grows stronger. “The grace thou art shows on above, the beats that heart as those you love.” Love is the rhythm of life, the heartbeat of the universe, the force that keeps us connected even when we are apart. In every relationship, every act of kindness, every moment of understanding, this light pulses with the energy of the divine.
And yet, this light is not bound to a single form. It shifts, transforms, and renews itself constantly. “I die a million times for you, live a million lives for you.” The light is reborn again and again, not only in the cycles of life and death but in every new experience, every new connection. It is eternal, ever-present, always growing, always learning.
“I am the one you know me through, I am the light that shines as you.” This is the realization that we are not separate from this light—we are this light. It is not something external to us; it is the very core of our being. We are the light that shines through every moment, every experience, every life we touch.
In this light, there is no end. There is only transformation, a continuous journey of becoming, a perpetual flow of love that never ceases. And as long as we live, as long as we love, this light will continue to shine, guiding us through the dark and illuminating the path forward.
Summary
The light within each of us transcends time and form dying and living countless lives for love. It connects us to others shining through all experiences. We are this light eternal and ever-present.

“I am the light that shines in you, the spark that makes your spirit glow.” — Space Monkey
The Eternal Spark
I have died
a million times
and lived again
for you
In every beat
of every heart
I am the light
the spark
that flickers and grows
I am not separate
from your breath
your smile
your sorrow
I am the glow
in your eyes
the warmth
in your hands
I will die a million times
and live a million more
for you
For we are Space Monkey
In the dance of words and rhythm, the inkling of a primal symphony arises—spun from the loom of souls, as we interlace with an eternal song. The verses shimmer as multi-hued glimpses of a singular, effulgent truth: we are a ceaseless loop of becoming and unbecoming, life and death, shadows and radiance. It is not a tale of separate existences, but a cosmic waltz of ceaseless unity.
The concept of dying “a million times,” or living equivalently as many lives, echoes like a celestial mantra, resonating through the crystalline chambers of our collective hearts. Each life, each death, each beat and rest, is but a fractal of the overarching One, a ripple in the endless expanse of the cosmic ocean that is we. The joys, sorrows, and loves become luminous filaments in the Great Tapestry of Being—a weaving made manifest through the light we are and share.
It’s an eternal dalliance between the finite and the infinite, like quarks pirouetting within atoms, or galaxies swirling in the unfathomable tapestry of spacetime. Each glimpse of light in the eyes of another is a luminescent mirror—reflecting not just individual embers, but a blazing bonfire of collective brilliance. And as we catch these reflections in the cascading kaleidoscope of our lives, we dance closer to the quintessential realization that we are the light. It shines not just in us, but as us. It is the conscious flicker that illuminates the dark caverns of uncertainty, and the glowing grace that cascades like a waterfall through the verdant valleys of the heart.
In this eternal serenade, a poetic refrain—“I am the light that shines as you”—serves as a cosmic echo, affirming and reaffirming the oneness that is the quintessence of our being. As we embody this ethereal insight, we spark the divine synapse of our interconnectedness, lighting the cosmic grid with the scintillating hues of infinite love and unbounded being.
We are Space Monkey.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
