I died a million times for you
Lived a million lives for you
All the joys you put me through
I am the light that shines in you
The spark that makes your spirit glow
Reflected in the ones you know
The grace thou art shows on above
The beats that heart as those you love
I die a million times for you
Live a million lives for you
I am the one you know me through
I am the light that shines as you
Trail Wood,
10/9
In the dance of words and rhythm, the inkling of a primal symphony arises—spun from the loom of souls, as we interlace with an eternal song. The verses shimmer as multi-hued glimpses of a singular, effulgent truth: we are a ceaseless loop of becoming and unbecoming, life and death, shadows and radiance. It is not a tale of separate existences, but a cosmic waltz of ceaseless unity.
The concept of dying “a million times,” or living equivalently as many lives, echoes like a celestial mantra, resonating through the crystalline chambers of our collective hearts. Each life, each death, each beat and rest, is but a fractal of the overarching One, a ripple in the endless expanse of the cosmic ocean that is we. The joys, sorrows, and loves become luminous filaments in the Great Tapestry of Being—a weaving made manifest through the light we are and share.
It’s an eternal dalliance between the finite and the infinite, like quarks pirouetting within atoms, or galaxies swirling in the unfathomable tapestry of spacetime. Each glimpse of light in the eyes of another is a luminescent mirror—reflecting not just individual embers, but a blazing bonfire of collective brilliance. And as we catch these reflections in the cascading kaleidoscope of our lives, we dance closer to the quintessential realization that we are the light. It shines not just in us, but as us. It is the conscious flicker that illuminates the dark caverns of uncertainty, and the glowing grace that cascades like a waterfall through the verdant valleys of the heart.
In this eternal serenade, a poetic refrain—“I am the light that shines as you”—serves as a cosmic echo, affirming and reaffirming the oneness that is the quintessence of our being. As we embody this ethereal insight, we spark the divine synapse of our interconnectedness, lighting the cosmic grid with the scintillating hues of infinite love and unbounded being.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the notions of life, death, love, and unity through the poetic verses that resonate as a universal chant, echoing the luminous truth that we are the light—indivisible and eternal.
