[hey]

Huh?

[hey]

What?

[do you know]

Hmm?

[the world]

... what about it?

[the secret of the world]

Secret, what secret?

[ask your heart]

Mmmm, I still don't get it.

[unknowingly known truth]

Unknowingly known truth?

[it slumbers within]

Within my heart?

[within all hearts]

How is it unknown then, if it lies in all hearts?

[gilded illusions belie]

Belie? What exactly

[introspective illumination unveils thusly]

Such riddles. What truth, what revelation?

[the world of hearts]

This world... is of sleeping hearts?

[some awake, some asleep]

Should they sleep or be awoken?

[what do you think]

Sleeping for too long is never good

[not all are aware]

How do we awaken these sleeping hearts?

[what of yours]

Mine? My heart... it slumbers... I think. Or, is it awake...

[can you hear it]

My heart's voice? mmm, I'm not sure

[listen]

Ok... but what does my hearts voice sound like

[chuckles]

What? What is so amusing, how would I know?

[unaware of thine heart]

Well, I never had to think of it before. This heart of mine, I wonder what it sounds like

[awaken it]

My heart? How do I even talk to it?

[chuckle]

What! What is so amusing?!

[such a curious being]

Being? And that makes you what exactly?

[aware yet unaware; all hearts]

So, I know you... no, all hearts know you, but have forgotten they do?

[...]

[stones trip, not mountains]

Yes, I know. Grasp what's within my understanding, least I be lead astray by phantoms of truth

[and of thy heart]

I need time. I have not thought of it, and now you ask me to awaken what I never knew to exist

[the deeper its slumber]

I know, I know. If hearts slumber, how do the awakened one become so?

[what of you]

Me? Am I? It never seemed so. How do I even know it to be? Maybe i'm still daydreaming

[wakefully dreaming,hearts and souls]

Wakefully dreaming?

[behold naught]

As they slumber, deeper they fall. Unbiased; droplets of truth on this barren parched land of my heart

[on and in all]

In and on all hearts? How does such a trrent not awaken them?

[Thine weeps; deep thy slumber]

Hmm..I wonder... what this torrent in the heart is

[...]

Maybe...

[maybe?]

Yes, maybe...

Maybe, the heart mourns, but is unaware... it could be it's lonely...or sad

[are you sad?]

[are you lonely?]

[why weeps thine heart?]

Mmmm, I wonder...*touches chest,* why do you weep aslumber, oh heart of mine?

[thusly in accord]

I'm not sure... it feels all that. Mostly, it feels... tired... I think...maybe?

[...]

Am I right? Did I get it?

[what of the land?]

If the heart weeps and nourishes the land...the land is my soul right?

[does it seem so?]

Maybe, I'm not sure

[look within, truth lies]

Such a doubled word and an ambigious use. You don't need to be so crpytic at every turn

[apparent lies, belay uncertainty]

So, you mean that, direct answers are lies, and you have to be an oddball to tell the truth.

[...]

Well, that is silly. For one who says find thyself, you seem a stranger to your own heart

[chuckle]

[perhaps]

Grrrr, I don't like that chuckle of yours... it's condensending

[not at all, I assure]

Hm! Fine! *pouts*

[laughs a little]

Did you just laugh at me?!?!

[not me]

[holds back a chuckle]

Ha! I heard that! What do you even want from me?

[focus]

Yes,I know. *closes eyes and expells a deep breath* Ahhhhh Back to basics I suppose

[as all must]
