Life Is Lyrics by ​eatthemooncake

Poetry in the Life of a Hermit

2018

Life is beauty in vain, a glass jar in twain
O, my heart is in pain, why—is it so plain?
Interlocked in chains until I became insane
Waiting for the plane to return among lanes
Life is tragic in rain, racecar sans its circles
O, my love is in haze, joining trance without twirl
Searching for reason before escaping with treason
Let me be your umbrella, cover you of this world
Life is praised under the sun, withers from embrace
O, try to reach for it and run: it’s an impossible race
Once gone along the winds, it will be next forgotten
If unable to raise hidden traces, keep up your pace
Life is a brief candle in the dark, a dog without a bark
O, my lark is trilling, hark! see the silence in the park
Its dear cousin, sleep, is calling, must I overtake it?
For a new day is returning, I shall erase “today”
Life is a star in the sky with a smile without reply
O, my brothers, go shine! the silence forth abides
A constellation isn’t one, but a family of tons
Where a minor whisper evolves into converse—
Until it burns away—
        Forever.
So, catch it before it flutters—
        and clutters—
And piles into ashes.
