Eternal Yearning
There’s a troubled soul who wants peace in the world at any cost
The tailwinds they blow, across fast and slow
There is no place to rest anymore
The aching-breaking shores
The dancing vine divine
The edges of the sky
Are never forever more
The pendulum swings like empty things
Beneath our feet a corpse lies underneath the stars
Dreams another dream
Explanation: In the quest for peace at any cost, a troubled soul navigates a world where external forces, depicted as ever-shifting tailwinds, affect all aspects of life. This individual finds no respite, encountering both beauty and fragility on aching-breaking shores and divine dancing vines. The impermanence of tranquility is acknowledged as even the edges of the sky prove transient. Life’s constant oscillation is likened to empty movements, and underlying troubles are symbolized by a hidden corpse beneath the stars. Yet, the dreamer persists, continually dreaming of a better future, amidst the complexities of this restless world.
