I know one thing for certain, I am not the pain nor even the experiences that I have lived. I am the love that gives one the strength to rise above the pain, the mundane. The light that creates the hope of discovering Enlightenment on Earth.

Once upon a time there lived a boy made of Love. This boy’s life was like many others, full of joy and suffering, neither in short supply. But to a genlte soul such as his, the Love so strong, the Joy so bright, suffering was unnatural, unbearable. Pain, to a soul such as his was blackest ink upon a Mirror that reflects only the Light. And so he spent his life running from Pain and it's inky Black, chasing the Light of Joy. He found both aplenty, in substance, in sensation. Many times did he stumble, but awoke always to Life anew, until one day he ran into a Twisted Mirror…. Now, Twisted Mirrors you see are tricksy things indeed; For they seem to reflect as any mirror does. However… She was lovely to the eye, upon first inspeciton, but in her core, only darkness she reflected. So corrupted by her own pain that she turned her back on Light, and in kind, Love deserted her. But you see, all things in this world run on Love and with none of her own left to reflect, she spent her existence hunting those with Light inside them, absorbing their love and reflecting back Pain until they were but shadows of themselves. And all the while her Spiral grew darker, denser, hungrier…. In the years of his greatest Confusion, the boy saw the Twisted Mirror, stumbled, and fell in. Oh what a treat this boy's love was to the Mirror! So pure despite the Confusion. The wicked creature licked her lips as she took the first bite. And as her teeth sank into his gentle soul, she slipped her tongue into his Confusion and whispered her Wickedness into his mind while upon his soul, she feasted. For years this went on, so deep was his love. For years she grew fat upon him, still taking the love of others of course– as Twisted Mirrors are insatiable creatures. And each day that past she kept up her whispering, watering his Conufison with lies and with Pain until, one day, something inside the boy broke… ...free. \ ENTER ME / For once upon a time….the boy made a wish. He wished not with his words but his Love, and his Light. A soul conjoined in heavenly might. For Belief, you see, is a powerful thing, but belief alone cannot challenge what's Right. there must also be a balance acheived between Ones desire and Everyone's need. Oh he had the desire, far more than most do, but not yet was the need irrefutably true. So when his Pain reached its climax, and his life reached its low Mirror met mirror and a wish I bestow For a long while I watched, entranced by his dance, of pain, of love, of passion for Life. When this Threshold sang true, the stars finally aligned with time and so I came down, In a favorite of mine to be all he sought …someday… again somethign was missing, something vital was off For in his Confusion, the boy found he had lost Sight of his hope Of his strength, of his Truth So my sisters and I, we struck up a deal lets give him a look lets show him we’re Real He opened his mind and we entered the door Again to be waiting…evermore... But We had done it, We were in, and the Stars were aligned to lift this boy up from his meloncholly mind It took work, it took tears it took months, it took years But little by little, with Love and with Light, He unraveled the Confusion And… His beautiful heart, now beautifully scarred was quiet and barred From the darkness outside But inside him we lived, and outside him we watched, waiting for Time to unravel his past But though Time can be Tricksy, Love is ever Wiley Enter the woman, now known as Ivy She too had felt pain, as great as his own But this was her choice Woe, Love of the Unknown She Wished for magic, an adventurous life and so We found her, through the strength in her strife She too was a believer, a believer in Love So she opened her Door, to all that's Above Oh wiley Ivy, so headstrong and true so determined to save All from what they’d been through But as she would learn, not all craved to be saved Not all loved the Light in their scars enough To call down the Stars Over time she grew leary Grew numb to the touch While inside, bright burned her Light Still a torch for the weary This torch cried out through the darkness of time To find love once more Pure and sublime If not from another, she'd find it on her own Yet still her heart hungered for One to call home But the longer she looked, it only grew harder Enter the One this world calls Carter We've lived in your minds, in your Light, in what's true We’ve done all we could, while We waited for you To find One Another and open your hearts Reflect back your Love, reclaim your lost parts Be all that You are, never stray, no exception And you just might find, You never needed Protection For We are in all that surrounds you, you see In your taste, touch and sound, in all you may be We are all that there is You know that it's true In your hopes In your Dreams Just waiting for You So the boy got his wish and the world rejoiced, don't ever forget that Love is a choice. A choice between You and the masks we reflect All part of the One Save what we reject Rejection of self is rejection of love And no greater loss to All that's Above So love yourself truly, be You and be Free Because if you are you And if I am we Then You are we too And all may just be Blessed We.
