Salty Tears
Journey of Salty Tears: A Poetic Odyssey through Loss and Resilience
Lyrics
Now I know that these tears fallin' from my eyes They seed memories
Realization that tears carry memories, symbolizing emotional weight.
Of my home and the streams that run the mountain side
Nostalgic thoughts of home and nature, with streams on the mountainside.
Where the bones of my loved ones Lie so peacefully
Reference to the resting place of loved ones, suggesting peace.
And I know that you will Fulfill your vow
Assurance that a vow will be fulfilled, possibly a promise or commitment.
To always walk where we walk
A pledge to follow the same path together, emphasizing unity.
And when the cold bites my hands like the Devil's tongue I softly cry our your name
Description of harsh cold, invoking pain, countered by calling out a name for comfort.
So that Devil can't talk
A symbolic act to silence negativity or hardships represented by the Devil.
But to you My dear Lord
Offering worries and fears to a higher power, expressing faith.
I give all worries and frightful fears
A surrender of anxieties to the dear Lord for comfort.
But to you my dear Lord
Reiteration of entrusting concerns to a higher spiritual entity.
As I walk, I shall drop... These warm salty tears
Commitment to shedding tears while walking, possibly as a form of emotional release.
How will our people
Pondering how departed people will remember shared joy and absence of future stories.
who've left this old world...Remember our smiles There's no footsteps, no laughter, no child to pass on... Stories of life, by the fireside
Reflection on the void left by the departed, emphasizing the absence of generational continuity.
Now my mother, my father, and two sisters have left This cold trail for good.
Noting the permanent departure of close family, possibly from life's struggles.
But for me I must walk For the ones who cannot
A commitment to continue walking for those who can no longer do so.
If I could flee, you know ....that I surely would
An expressed desire to escape if possible, indicating the difficulty of the journey.
