It's Not Mine Anymore
Embracing Release: A Poetic Journey Beyond Ownership
Lyrics
It's not mine anymore, if it ever was at all
Ownership is relinquished; it may never have truly belonged.
If it ever lifted high enough to fall
If there was possession, it reached a height and now faces a decline.
It's not mine anymore, I release it on a wing
The speaker lets go, allowing it to take flight metaphorically.
May it travel far and wander back again
Wishing the released entity to travel far and return eventually.
It's not mine anymore, just a midnight memory
Now just a memory associated with midnight; dreams may fade easily.
Hope and fear of dreams that fade easily
Reflecting on the mix of hope and fear tied to transient dreams.
It's not mine anymore, lost to bygone centuries
Belonging to past centuries, lost and yearning for a return.
And by God I wish they'd come back home to me
An earnest desire for the past to return.
It's not mine anymore, I release it to the night
Letting go of ownership, allowing it to be embraced by the night.
Slip between my vision and my sight
Mention of something slipping away from the speaker's perception.
It's not time anymore, I release it to the sound
The concept of time no longer applies; it's surrendered to sound.
Of every quiet place I've ever found
Connecting the release to the speaker's quiet and cherished places.
It's not mine anymore, it's been scattered to the wind
Ownership has dissipated, scattered like the wind.
Endings bleed into the beginnings
Transitions from endings to beginnings are blurred and bleed into each other.
Not defined anymore, without a finish or a start
Without clear boundaries, not defined by a start or an end.
It floats between the mind and the heart
It exists in the space between rationality (mind) and emotion (heart).
