The Eternal
Reflections on Loss and Time: The Eternal Symphony
Lyrics
Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Reflecting on a ceremonial or funeral procession that has concluded, and the noise and commotion have subsided.
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Giving tribute and honor to those who have passed away.
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
People speaking openly at gatherings, perhaps in remembrance, sharing stories or memories.
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain
Symbolic imagery of flowers being scattered, possibly as a gesture of remembrance or mourning, washed by the rain.
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
The narrator standing near the entrance of a garden, observing the passing procession.
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Watching people move by like clouds in the sky, suggesting the transient nature of life.
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Attempting to express emotions in the intense moment, possibly feeling overwhelmed.
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside
Experiencing a passionate and internal burning fury.
Cry like a child, though these years make me older
Expressing emotions similar to a child's cry, despite the passage of time and aging.
With children my time is so wastefully spent
Feeling that time spent with children is not utilized wisely.
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
Acknowledging the burden of responsibility in maintaining inner connections or relationships.
Accept like a curse, an unlucky deal
Accepting a challenging situation or commitment as if it were a curse or an unfortunate agreement.
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
Playing near the garden entrance, observing a wide view from the fence to the wall.
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
Recognition that some experiences cannot be adequately conveyed through words or actions.
No words could explain, no actions determine
Contemplating the scene of trees and falling leaves, suggesting a passive observation of life's changes.
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall
Simply observing the natural course of events without interference, such as the falling of leaves from trees.
