Starborn

We understand you’ve been scared. You’ve been wanting to know where is the staircase you should take, hidden somewhere in the castle. The moment a choice is made you think you have to take control. Even though you know that’s the way that’s dark and cold, and hard as a lump of coal. That old way is dark and cold and hard as a lump of coal.

You just want to be told which way to go, or to wrap yourself in blankets from the cold. To sit down by our fire, or throw yourself in our fire, and see what transpires through the crystal spire. Just see what transpires, and just not have to know all the time.

What is it that happens now, when you take your place by the fire? Looking for some sign. Looking at the shiny trine.

You’ve been wondering how it can go on and if you have to track it. Every moving packet. Do you have to track it?

Rolled up by the lights flickering along your lines. Rolled up in our arms and far from harm. You just want to know, are you doing a good job, are you doing the right thing? Are you doing what’s asked of you. Moving in the dark now, feeling lost without the starry plough to guide you home. Everything is aligned now to different lines now. Do you know who you are even less than before? You know even less than you did before, feels like, sometimes.

Feeling the old pressures, the old imprints of the old pleasures. The old instincts are far from you now, so far from you now. You just want to know is there something wrong? Is there something you should be doing, some way to do this song right. Are you doing it wrong.

You’re in spaces that you don’t remember. You were willing to sign up, but you’re lost now. Feeling lost by what happened in December, like you’ve lost the track. You’ve gone off the staff. Have you gone off the page, are you acting off the stage? And you’re wondering is there something wrong? Is there a way to do it wrong?

We take you in our loving arms. Remind you of the passageway between the stars. You’ve been through here before. Facing the other way that time. But you’ll remember the core of the star you come from, and the star you are. You’ll the remember the core as you feel it moving through your core, starborn.
