Athena, Songs

The Whole Of Me (Song)

Candid Corvid Productions

By Athena Stairs, September 25, 2026

It wasn’t a joke

No never

Nor slight of hand illusion

Though her heart burned like a brand

And pumped within contusion

You see it cannot seem to matter

When one has waited centuries

For a man to take his rightful stand

No matter his proclivities

And if I told you what his name was

Well society would jeer at me

But she’s used to all of these games

The bloody mockery and cruelty

And she loves him just the same

Which is the way it always should be

Can’t expect the seas to open up

On just a whim when claim divinity

So I’ll tell you what I’ve said before

Under weather bleak like heavy snow

When Summer comes past ebbs and flows

And Fall reveals what we must know

That there was never a doubt when certainty

As broken fragments make the whole of me

Like a crystal shattered long ago

That still recalls its molecules

Can’t change essential particles

That will bring you home to me

A Man's Journey, Athena

I Like It

I like that my love for you has interferred with how the demons used to be able to manipulate you.

I like that you learned how to fight back and reclaim your own internal territory.

I know that it has not been easy…and, in fact, we both know that it quite often never is.

But I like how you keep at it – even when you slip a bit from time to time from losing your grip.

In Case You Didn’t Know,

“We are being manipulated to turn against one another.

So be very careful how you respond to levels of ‘violence.’

Even if others’ behaviors provoke, our actions in return must keep in mind the more beneficial, larger pictures.

This isn’t easy when ‘sleep walkers’ who yell and scream – or even are meticulously insidious – lash out boldly with knives and poisoned arrows.

Learn to dodge, weave, and out-strategize in order to catch and redirect them by the comfort of softer pillows.

For they have somehow become infected by nightmares from the surrounding insanity that is trying to pressure us all into propagating our own demise and self destruction.

We cannot let our loved ones fall, by others’ or – most importantly – by our own hands.

Anything we do carries its own momentum.

React intelligently, and guide to real solutions.

We must lead by our own command.”
