The Energy Between Us

1. 0:00The energy between us, a story about energy. In the beginning there was silence. Just breath, just light. And then a soul stirred. She rose from the meadow where the earth first dreamed her. Her name was Luma, not given, but
2. 0:17grown like light from seed. She didn't yet speak, but her body knew how to move, and her spirit knew how to shine.
3. 0:26The grass bent toward her, the stream shimmerred back at her, and her laughter cracked the stillness like sunlight through leaves. She was not alone, but the world was quiet until it wasn't.
4. 0:40From the edge of the day came another, a shadow that walked like a man. Eyes too bright, shoulders [music] too low. He smiled without warmth. His name not [music] spoken, but you might know him as Drain. He didn't ask to be born
5. 0:56empty, but still he learned [music] to take. At first it was small, a comment here, a question that curled like a hook. And Luma, bright as she was, answered, not with [music] suspicion, but with her usual joy. That's how it
6. 1:11begins. The leak, the drip of light, a small flicker stolen. Luma felt [music] it, not all at once, but in size, stutters, and second guesses. The way her aura dimmed when he was near. The way the stream felt colder. The way
7. 1:27[music] silence crept in like a vine.
8. 1:29She tried to laugh again, but the chime in her ankles was dull and drying.
9. 1:36He lingered like a question you wish you never asked. But the soul has memory.
10. 1:43And Luma, though dimmed, remembered how to breathe. She found her feet in the cracked earth. She found her hands in the mirror pool. And when she looked, really looked, she saw what was hers and what was never meant to stay.
11. 1:58So she climbed, not to escape, but to return to herself, to the sun, to the place where her [music] voice hummed in harmony with the birds, and her light stretched out, not to prove, but to be.
12. 2:13And Dryan watched from the edge, no longer taking, just watching. Perhaps even remembering his own spark [music] long buried, or perhaps not. But the story was never about him. It was about the energy between us, what we give,
13. 2:29what we guard, what we allow to grow.
14. 2:32Luma did not win. She did not fight. She simply returned to her rightful and [music] that was enough.
15. 2:42My name.
16. 2:56[music and singing]
