“You have been silent for too long.⁣⁣⁣
Tell me a tale.⁣⁣⁣
So much time spent in solitude—⁣⁣⁣
In living, in limbo, and in not living at all.⁣⁣⁣
You must have a story to tell,⁣⁣⁣
Emotions to make me feel,⁣⁣⁣
Thoughts that made their way⁣⁣⁣
To epiphany.”⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I have been holding a thread on two ends,⁣⁣⁣
pulled by fate and fear,⁣⁣⁣
ensuring it doesn’t break⁣⁣⁣
under the weight of two extremes.⁣⁣⁣
It’s when I let go that I found⁣⁣⁣
the thread was never meant to be held with power,⁣⁣⁣
But to be kept in peace, left to its nature,⁣⁣⁣
To break into two.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Everything returns to the source.⁣⁣⁣
Everything changes.⁣⁣⁣
I have returned to the shimmering light⁣⁣⁣
That guides me in times of inner turmoil.⁣⁣⁣
The path was dark, winding, and soul-crushing, but⁣⁣⁣
Everything turned out fine.⁣⁣⁣
Everything was… everything I sought.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the body,⁣⁣⁣
Dissociating from the material sheath.⁣⁣⁣
I looked deeper.⁣⁣⁣
I saw that I was formless, endless…⁣⁣⁣
Whirling within chaos⁣⁣⁣
I was small, and I was large.⁣⁣⁣
I was sick, and I was healthy.⁣⁣⁣
There were things I needed to say,⁣⁣⁣
emotions I longed to feel.⁣⁣⁣
I had dreams to dream,⁣⁣⁣
songs to sing.⁣⁣⁣
All I needed was a certain detachment⁣⁣⁣
From the man in the mirror.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So yes, I have a tale to tell⁣⁣⁣
A tale about you.⁣⁣⁣
It involves the man in the mirror,⁣⁣⁣
speaking in a tune known to few.⁣⁣⁣
It is a tale out of time presented⁣⁣⁣
in iridescent images⁣.⁣⁣
The sculpture is finished⁣⁣⁣
when your reflection rests in peace⁣⁣⁣
So yes, I have a tale to tell.⁣⁣⁣
Just be at… peace
