A Mys-TiHKAL Experience

Hold me close,
tell me the truth:
tell me you love me.
I hold you close.
I tell you the truth:
I love you.

All the pain
all the fear
all the darkness —
feel it.
All the bitterness
all the resentment
all the regret —
feel it.
Let it pass through you.
Let it pass through,
through and out.
Let it go.

Reach through the pain.
Pain is just the distance between the things you love.
Hold on to the truth:
I love you.
You love me.
Forgive the past.
Do not dread the future.
Be here, in the now
which, you realise,
is the only thing that matters,
the only thing that’s real.

So let’s talk and laugh and love and cry.
Let’s be silly together.
Let’s heal.
