Split Pen-sonality

Little Pen: I see nothing but darkness in front of me.

Big Pen: Vision you have not. Perceive not with two eyes, only one truly see.

Little Pen: This world does not care about my language.

Big Pen: Matter not about if they care, rather change your perception about this world and you will know to care about its anguish.

Little Pen: The sounds of this world scream loud; can’t you hear it? Yo, listen…

Big Pen: Hear not as this world hears but listen to the voice whose direction is simple and whose voice is gentle. Then true ears will be given.

Little Pen: Noise is everywhere around me. This is what lives in my ears.

Big Pen: You are mistaken. The screams come not from this world but from within. Search for a state minus all your fears.

Little Pen: Search, you say. I ain’t trying to go nowhere — besides this place, I know, I will not find.

Big Pen: Seek and you will. Embrace this and be still. The truth will arise opening the gates of your mind.

Little Pen: I ain’t convinced. I know I cannot do this. I am not you.

Big Pen: Separation is a mere erroneous idea; it is this thought which blocks your view.

So, please allow me a few more stanzas. I wish to only guide you to what you think cannot be answered. You are mightier than a sword. You are an instrument, expressive in your ways: Magnificent and Poised. You truly come to life on any surface. You have shaped kingdoms, empires, and ages. You are crafty; you are perfect. From papyrus to parchment, you have brought wars to its knees. You have inspired the hopeless and lifted people with peace. You leave a legacy wherever you stroke. An implement of pure power and purpose whenever you flow. You are the “art” within any “part” you play, so be glad. Understand you manifest the thoughts of people without you nothing can be said.

Little Pen: Wow!… Am I blind? Am I deaf? Am I dumb? I guess I am not what I was made to be.

Big Pen: Never! These are things you can never be. Our will be done. You are still as you were created. I am you; you are me.

Little Pen: I am you, and you are me? I don’t understand. Please, teach me, what I am missing.

Big Pen: Oh, great one, I have waited for your willingness since the split. Now open your eyes and just look upon this beautiful path you have written.
