Days, Nights
Echoes of Love Lost: Eliza Edens' Poetic Reflection on Seasons
Lyrics
The mornings are dim
The mornings are gloomy and lacking brightness.
The evenings are long
The evenings feel prolonged and extended.
Since you've been around
Since your presence, there's been a noticeable change.
Every flower I once knew has been
Every flower I once knew has lost its essence.
Hollowed through and hung out on the line
Flowers have become empty, drained, and displayed without life.
And I sit and I think
I contemplate, wish, and patiently await.
And I hope and I wait
Observing as you take control.
And I watch you take over while
While the atmosphere vanishes.
The air disappears
The wind is a constant force.
And the wind's a persistent beast
It disturbs every aspect of the mind.
That rattles every corner of the mind
Rattling thoughts in every corner of the mind.
And when it's time I'll know
When the right moment comes, I'll decide whether to stay or follow.
To stay or follow
The choice between staying or moving forward.
This winter could be
This difficult period may transition into better times.
Spring tomorrow
Hope for a brighter future despite the current challenges.
The days have been grey
The days have been dull and lacking color.
The nights have been cold
The nights have been chilly and unwelcoming.
Since you've been away
Since your absence, memories and images are obscured.
Every memory and photograph
Memories and pictures have been tainted in the distant past.
Muddied up the river far behind
They've muddled the river, creating distance.
And I laugh and I cry
I experience both laughter and tears.
And I cry and I laugh
Emotions are mixed and unpredictable.
And I wash away tears
Tears are washed away.
And I look at the clouds
I gaze at the clouds.
And the trees sweetly whisper
Trees communicate subtly, suggesting your presence.
That somewhere in the moment you're around
You exist somewhere in the present moment.
And when it's time I'll know
When the time comes, I'll decide whether to accept or acquire.
To take or borrow
The decision to keep or borrow the love you left.
The love you left me
The love you left behind for a future day.
For tomorrow
Or give it away and move beyond the sadness.
Or give it away and
Move through the sorrow
Move forward through the grief by letting go.
And when it's time I'll know
When the time is right, decide to accept or acquire.
To take or borrow
The choice to keep or borrow the love you left.
The love you left me
The love you left behind for a future day.
For tomorrow
Or give it away and move beyond the sadness.
Or give it away and
Move through the sorrow
Move forward through the grief by letting go.
