TRANCE, third episode.
Now I know who I am.
Earlier I was taught acceptance
As I was also trained to question
And even learned to rebel
But they refused me faith
And so my search began my beloved
Yet where to find you
Hence I read the books
And I argued as I reasoned alone
For who was my equal
As I scrutinized the mirror
That you showed me by your lore
Of love and sublime oneness
To be naked to all
Wearing the emperor's clothes I was
Nothing less than a child
Yet where to find you
Not in the image in my eyes
It was bare utterly barren
Maybe for those who seek
You can not be found in time
So I ended my search
And that stop worried you
While I materialized in this earthly maze
My empyrean spirit flew out
I was out of reach
Even unaproachable to me I whirled paralyzed
Through lawlessness and inner disarray
In a world of mortals
Craving for wealth for desire for prestige
They not I not me
You taught me to laugh
To make jest of myself and them
Yet where to find me
I could only be found
In you as you searched for me
You had to look inside
That increscent universe of creation
You started to close your holy solitude
Where I was at nascency
So why my eternal master
Am I earthborn as well as ethereal
Subordinate while equal and particle
Like a drop of ocean
I can not exist without my source
As you not without me
You showed me your heaven
And then threw me back to life
Knowing it would kill me
Since you taught me acceptance
My master my heavenly destroyer my beloved
I only revolt against me
As somewhere in this trance
My quest ended into a tender wake
Life more sore than death
Except, except for her and
You, you who keep whispering my name
In longing for my return.
Dawn.
