The Heavens
Reaching Beyond: Embracing Transcendence in Life's Seasons
Lyrics
Warm wind of autumn
The comforting breeze of autumn
The longest night
The longest night, symbolizing darkness or challenges
Hurling toward an
Moving rapidly towards an eternal light or truth
Eternal light
Enduring another slow and painful winter
Another languid winter
Experiencing another death during the rejuvenation of spring
Another death in spring
Gradually collapsing in the comfort that summer provides
Collapsing slowly in
The world appears to stop turning in the presence of a significant person
The shelter summer brings
Feeling a celestial connection when the person is nearby
The world stops turning
A metaphorical image of the sky splitting open
When you are near me
Reaching out physically and metaphorically to touch the heavens
The sky splits open
Expressing fearlessness in the face of darkness
I reach out and I touch the heavens
Respecting and acknowledging the night's significance
I reach out and I touch the heavens
Repetition emphasizes the profound connection with the heavens
Into the darkness
Moving into the unknown or challenging aspects of life
I have no fear
Lacking fear, possessing only reverence for the approaching night
Only a reverence for
Expressing a firm grasp on solace or comfort
The night that draws me near
A warm embrace offered by memories of things erased
Firm grip of solace
Reiteration of the world seemingly halting in the presence of a special person
A warm embrace
A celestial event, the sky metaphorically splitting open
Held by the memory of all
Calling out to someone, seeking acknowledgment
That's been erased
Asking if the person can hear and is present
The world stops turning
Repetition underscores the act of reaching out to touch the heavens
When you are near me
Reaching out with a longing to connect with the heavens
The sky splits open
Expressing the desire for a celestial presence to be felt
I reach out and I touch the heavens
Repetition of reaching out, emphasizing the yearning for a connection
I call out to you
Invoking an auditory response, questioning if the person can hear
Oh, can you hear me
Pondering the presence of the person and questioning their existence
Are you here with me
Reaching out again with a persistent desire to touch the heavens
I reach out and I touch the heavens
Repeating the profound act of reaching out and touching the heavens
I reach out and I touch the heavens
Reaffirming the intense longing and connection with the heavens
