Beauty in Passing - Words Of Farewell

The world ends with you, or so I thought

The forfeiture of light and darkness at hand

Moving on past rapture takes courage

For I’ve yet to see beauty in passing

A weary heart held captive

Where a distant memory of you still remains

Now in clear sight, right before my eyes

I see you drifting away, cutting ties with the earth

To no avail I stand in shackles of your departure

Henceforth I scream to the sky

No peace for your shattered soul

For your journey has not come to an end

You shall find our place of destination

Beyond the confines of this world

You did wander where nobody dares to tread

And threw yourself upon a frail tether

To smother what was left of life

To feel a sense of closure in the palm of your head

Slowly leaving hold of your faint notion of venture

The lucid rain steals away the remainder of my torment

For now I see beauty in passing

For now we see beauty in passing

Did your voice ever tell of delights

For there will never be another waking hour in these eyes

Yet there is still more day to dawn

Arise my ravaged heart don’t you fall aslumber

Walk under groaning tree and open skies

For you dare not stay too long where shadows fall
