Single Leaf
Solitude's Dance: Embracing Life's Fragile Beauty
Lyrics
The sun on every tree
The sun illuminates every tree.
A single leaf was dancing
A solitary leaf is swaying or moving gracefully.
It was bright in its solitude
The leaf stands out brightly in its aloneness.
And all things were quiet
All things around are calm and silent.
Always young, always dangerous
Emphasizing a perpetual state of youth and danger.
There with love and death
Existence characterized by both love and death.
Dancing
The repetition of the idea of a single leaf dancing.
A single leaf was dancing
-(A single leaf was dancing)
-Everything was asleep
Everything is in a state of slumber.
Even the pale shadows
Even faint shadows are dormant.
The noise of the street
The noise of the street diminishes as everything quiets down.
Soon faded
-The clouds are gathering in
Imagery of gathering clouds, isolated trees, and stillness.
Pass the dark-pined covered hill
-Every tree stood alone
-All things seemed to stand still
-Dancing
Reiteration of the image of a single leaf dancing.
A single leaf was dancing
-A single leaf was dancing
-A single leaf was dancing
-A single leaf was...
The repetition of the idea of a single leaf, with an interruption.
The leaves began to stir
Leaves start to move after a long night.
From the long, long night
Shadows lift with a delicate shyness.
With delicate shyness
The leaves tremble with fragility.
The trembling of the leaves
Expressing the movement of the leaves.
The movement of all things
Referring to the general movement of all things.
A single leaf was dancing
Reiteration of the image of a single leaf dancing.
Dancing
