The Crippled Lion
Wandering through Life's Melody: The Crippled Lion's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Slowly, I walk through the gently falling rain
Reflecting on a slow walk through falling rain, a transient moment.
And I know that I will never pass this way again
Acknowledging that this experience is unique and won't be repeated.
Never wondering why--teardrops chaffing my eyes
Not questioning the experience, tears welling up in the eyes.
Longing to be where the noted kisses fall
Desiring to be where memorable kisses land.
Lingering and still, while quietly they tell their all
Witnessing and absorbing the quiet revelations of these kisses.
Blue is the color of the sun
Describing the color blue as associated with the sun.
And nothing stops when everything is done
Highlighting the continuity of time even after tasks are completed.
Now my whole world opens up in different rhymes and tunes
Embracing a new perspective with different experiences.
With the highways making up the verse
Life's journey symbolized as highways and verses.
And then suddenly I see the light of something called the moon
Noticing the moon and the unexpected illumination it brings.
And though my path is planned, it's not rehearsed
Acknowledging a planned path but emphasizing its unscripted nature.
So I move along to the next thing on the list
Moving forward despite uncertainties, following a list.
Knowing full well that some of them just don't exist
Aware that some items on the list may be intangible or unattainable.
But I am finally alone
Finding solitude, being finally alone.
And where my foot steps down is where it's home
Wherever one steps becomes a personal sense of home.
Now my whole world opens up in different rhymes and tunes
Reiteration of a transformed world with diverse experiences.
With the highways making up the verse
Continuation of the metaphorical journey through life's verses.
And then suddenly I see the light of something called the moon
Observing the moon again, emphasizing its symbolic significance.
And though my path is planned, it's not rehearsed
Reaffirming the planned yet unpredictable nature of the path.
So I move along to the next thing on the list
Progressing to the next task on the list with awareness of uncertainties.
Knowing full well that some of them just don't exist
Accepting that some items on the list may be elusive or imaginary.
But I am finally alone
Experiencing solitude and self-discovery.
And where my foot steps down is where it's home
Where one stands and treads feels like home.
