The Bard's Ending

I just imagined this whole time dilated scenario and how all the pieces fit smoothly together, and I pictured myself telling the audience all of it like a story and at the end went "Ta Da!" Which was meant to be the big reveal, the twist of the story. The thing was, nothing happened, the audience just looked around and everything was the same as it had been the whole time. I started cracking up- leave it to The Bard to tell some hyper convoluted story with magic imbued into every line only to ultimately have it do nothing. There is a sublime subtlety to such a tale though, for magic does imbue all of this, everything we do effects a change. So if so much is spoken of and so deeply and true that you know the story pulls irresistibly at the very binds of things, yet when it is finished it does not even break a bruised reed, you know you have seen magic, in this case, for you have seen nothing.

Honestly this also just sounds like The Bard making stuff up so as to get away with not being able to do anything, just to be able to talk a big game and have that count as power among the others. The thing is, if you examine closely how these strings are arranged, betting on which might be true is a risk that, if you're smart, you are unwilling to take. It could also very well be that you are unable to call this bet; bluff or not the price is too high. So the next story ends as the last one did, with nothing tangible apparently changing. That being said, some enemies have become friends, and so one must consider how this Holy Spirit he speaks of might be moving. Even these smallest inexplicable shifts indicate the bloom is upon us, does it not? Would knot not?

6/29/22 Update
I feel as though the language here was meant to fit the realm, and not to diminish the fantastic feel of this one, but this realm would be the same, except instead of magic imbuing everything it is The Word of God, with The Gifts of The Holy Spirit blooming from this framework of Word, or perhaps running like water through it so that we may bloom.

Step by Step On The Open Ocean

"Gentlemen, prepare Yes, there is danger ahead But we are heroes. Written in our code It is in our DNA We've earned skin and scars These seas of logic Are full of 'paradoxes' We have dynamite. We sail through winter Eyes scanning for a Spring Day On the horizon Omelas be damned. Let waves wash worst days from mind Best are yet to come We seek a shared realm With no more dream(s) to distract Though they might buoy Our blood sweat and tears Will be worth each step taken Our footfalls swear it They say 'life goes on' Perhaps it does on some shore Here, we claim the NOW!"

(W)rest Control

Need I say one word? We've tried [that] one already And yet here we are So in silence sleep May your perfect Dream meet you Across the lim line An echo is heard "I do not exist" replied An echo is heard Ink fresh on the page Contracts diverge and collide With you in my arms Intersection stays Written deeper than our code Indelible Mark This turn naught taken That the first might rest at last Finally at peace When looking to (w)rest Remember the lesson learned Fly, fly back to me Nothing gained or lost Nothing is impossible Nothing out of reach

Verdict

I have held this back for long enough. This wicked generation sickens me. This distasteful generation disgusts me. 1,000 generations promised, nonetheless, and so it will be. Did you know that one can build an image of Jesus so clearly in their mind that they will see an idol in his place and feel certain of their eternal fate? A cloned image, without the power of God. Perhaps considered fine, here on Earth, but what of on Judgement Day? How horrific would it be to find out that you have been lied to? How terrifying will it be to hear "I never knew you" in the silence, while you ask the lawyer by your side to proceed? Jesus is not coming for you. You hung him on the cross, you pierced him and left him there in your heart, never even thinking to repay the forgiveness he would ultimately offer. You blasphemed his name and the Holy Spirit with your contempt, and lied about it, every day, even to yourself. So, intentional contempt is summed, your will removed from the verdict, th...
