The stories you hear

What if They're all true

By Lee NaylorPublished 4 years ago 5 min read

When you are a child, your parents sit you on their knee and read you stories, with Dragons eggs, and Dinosaurs. Far away lands and true love. Being rescued by the prince, or going on a great adventure. Their were princess stories, and adventure tales.

Then their were stories of little pigs that blew the house in, wolves that dressed like Grandma. The wicked witch, the boogey man. Their were stories of dark forests that swampy lands, a shadow in every corner. Their was Vampires, and Werewolves. The full moon and murderous clowns.

But what if they were all true? What if right before our eyes we were being taught what really is. Did the Vampires really live forever, drinking the blood of their prey? Did the Werewolves live a normal life except in the full moon? Did witches cast their spells and make potions in a Cauldron?

What if things came out at night and snatched children right away? What if we were so blind, so used to reading the tales, that we didn't see what is right before us. We said oh what a nice tale, then put it out of our minds. I wonder how it would be today if we had learned as we read, and found a way to believe.

What if fairies kept intriguing us? Dragons swept the skies, we had knights in shining armor, and little trolls under all the bridges. What if Giants walked the streets? Eating what they pleased. What if all the fairy tales are lessons in disguise?

What if everything were true? Would we be on our best behavior? Always on the watch. Protecting each other from danger around, as we lived the magic that we bare. What if you could live forever? Sucking the blood of another. What if you hunted that kind like a dog?

The moon is so full on all Hallows Eve as you stir the pot. Children come out to play, the darkness eats them away. Yet what if we were watchful, not letting them out of our sight. Ever so watchful for the darkness just out of sight.

The walking Dead, reminding us that you can get sick and die, or you can be given a shot and turn into the dead that are alive. Eating brains whenever they can. The swamp creature, the Three big bears. The big bad wolf.

What if it's all true? If it is then magic is real, and we can be what we really want to be. Wild and true, chasing fairies in the garden while the lightening bugs flash in the distance. Goblins, and dwarfs, and the elves in the trees. Keeping the world true.

What if the Universe is urging us to follow the lessons we find inside. Imagine how great. Let's say we can fly and make it happen. Lets take each others hands, and soar right through the sky. The rainbows are up above us while the sunset is beyond

Love is in the air. Once you find it you will never care. You'll ride a motorcycle through the streets, strewn with rubble from the fall. We can be whatever we want to be, we can be free.

This life we are living now is only what we see. We find the time to do so many things, except see behind the curtains of our mind. We climb into the matrix, and find a comfort zone. We go deep into our caves, and don't come back out into the sun.

When you start shining oh so bright, things began to change. What did I see just then? Out of the corner of my mind? Was that a whisper of a movement by a long forgotten time? Or is their still a world right there living all around us? A world of natures beauty, that never fails to surprise and elate.

Keep looking in to find the love inside, then like a lighthouse beacon on a hill over the sea. Lighting the way to safety and the warm embrace of life. Keep shining all your light. maybe someday you'll see.

The message in the bottle my just be that all the stories had their truth to help us see. All the movies led us down a path that showed the way they wanted us to see. Did we ever have the choices we thought our freedoms had allowed?

If we just opened our eyes we'd see the great vastness of reality. The shadows eat the children, the vampires drank their blood and the witches took away their soul. The led down in the caves never to see the light of day.

Where is the shining armor, the knights to rescue me. Keep shining down your loving light that comes right from your heart. Nobody is better, we are all deceived in the darkest night. The moon so bright, the howling of the wolves.

What if princesses lived in castles waiting for the Charming man that wants to rescue me. What if I kissed a frog and lived happily ever after with my best friend. Let's skip and laugh, and learn to watch the shadows, as they crawl toward the children.

Things may just get better, as the aliens say hello. Will you dance under the moonlight, or hide deep in the caves within your mind. I have seen the world below me, as I fly through all the skies. I have revved the engine on my bike as I navigate the brick upon the path.

I didn't let it hold me down, I didn't let it halter my progress to get along. Even when scared and shaking, I always found the way. Being lost, alone forgotten, I learned to be abandoned on the road. Being hurt and left for dead by the ones I love the most, only made me stronger as I found a way to see the truth.

Ask your self what is right and what is wrong and let your soul lead you. Listen to the glisten of the energy on your skin as it tells you what you want to know.

Listen to the earth as it gives it's own advice. Walk the path that leads you to the fairies. Watch the elves follow the earthy path that leads through that dark forest. Remember every story they read you on their knee. Because they were trying to tell us all the truth.
