Drastic...Painful...Wonderful......Growth

Looking back feels crazy

Times not so long ago

Seem like different worlds

I can't help but wonder...

What is in store for tomorrow?

This life we've been given

Is a horrible, wonderful gift

It's magnificence is divine

Just take a look around

Can you not see the beauty?

You must be blind...

It hurts to watch me grow

But the pain keeps me alive

How simply amazing is it to know...

All you ever could want is bound to arrive

It's fire and love and passion and wonder

But most of us break it and tear it to shreds

It's not that which hurts us that takes us down under

Convoluted perception keeps you trapped in your head

Life's a gift, and it's magic.  All you're getting is one.

Embrace it and love it.  Let it set you ablaze

It may consume...don't let it.  Ride it out...let it run

It warms and heals, molds and grooms you, infinite in its ways

This life, though it changes...in the blink of an eye

Depth and contrast can heighten your sense of life...of your mind

Such depth and contrast can ravage...bleed your consciousness dry

Though utilized as intended, the third eye will find itself aligned

Much power comes along with this vision...a concept to behold

It's not the sight that you know, back from the earliest day

To reach to the soul for perception makes the spirit unfold

Deeper understanding is granted...new shades of light will display

New forms of being erupt from what was once abysmal and gray

Absolute forms of being take shape, engulfing all unenlightened
All that once was is now abandoned, scraped off and carried away

That  with which two eyes envisioned, is exponentially brightened

With the third opened wide, cleared of what once would cloud it

You can understand this to be real, things are never as they seem

It has become all too real, Nothing less than absolute, the pieces now fit

Walk with me now that three eyes are open.  Live what was once just a dream
