Of Your Beauty
Solitude's Plea: A Haunting Journey into the Echoes of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Wearing robes of solemnity
Feeling a sense of seriousness and formality in attire
My senses stand erect
My senses are heightened and attentive
This moment I am solitary
Experiencing solitude in the present moment
As you watch me, eyeless
You, without eyes, are observing me
Observe a brutal face
Witness a harsh and unattractive expression
I need silence, I need to be alone
Seeking quietness and solitude
Look at me
Directing attention towards me
My bony fingers wrapped in rags
My skeletal fingers wrapped in tattered clothing
I am pursued and love is withered
Being chased, and love is fading away
My eyes will see, if my spirit lives
If my spirit persists, my eyes will perceive
The wind shouts its commands
The wind is commanding with force
The earth has stopped my ears
The earth prevents me from hearing
I dare not raise my hand
Hesitant to act, not daring to raise my hand
To hold the stones around my throat
Avoiding self-harm or destructive actions
I have heard of your beauty
Aware of your beauty
And would sacrifice my days
Willing to sacrifice my days for that beauty
These midnight wanderings
Engaging in aimless wanderings during midnight
And vain laments
Expressing futile regrets and sorrows
Pour upon me
Requesting a compassionate look or understanding
A sympathetic glance
My glory has faded
My splendor has gone
Found face down in a defeated state
You will find me face down
Allowing time to pass in a sorrowful procession
Let those days pass
Accepting the passing of days
In sorrowful procession
Among bare or lifeless groves
Among leafless groves
Desiring a renewal or rebirth like a leaf unfolding
May a leaf unfold
Expressing frustration and anger
I cry with rage
Wishing to be remembered with compassion
To be remembered with pity
Allowing positive change where decay has occurred
Let the leaves unfold
Requesting understanding of personal suffering
Where dead leaves have rotted
Years of futile attachment to weakened arms
Ask me what I suffer
A gesture of kindness or friendly greeting
Years of fruitless clinging
Awareness of your beauty persists
To enfeebled arms
Persisting in pursuit, calling for action
That wave of benevolent salute
Symbolic act of removing obstacles or burdens
I have heard of your beauty
Reiteration of awareness of beauty
Pursue me, beckon me
Encouraging pursuit, inviting action
To cast the stones from my throat
To release oneself from burdens or constraints
In the earth's dark entrails
In the depths of despair or darkness
My glazed eyes close forever
Eternal closure of eyes in a resigned manner
My my eyes will see
If my spirit endures, my eyes will see
If my spirit lives
Reiteration of the hope that the spirit persists
