Beneath a Naked Flame

Beneath a naked flame, there lies all the hidden resolution
I heard him softly sing to you my friend
You bowed your head in a silken thread of absolution
While spilling forgetful darkness
From your hands

Are your eyes dim because your dreams are distant
To you I could hear him softly sing
You bowed your head to escape from existence
Then you closed your burning eyes
On everything

Above your line of sight a patient angel is there waiting
He sang to you, although you did not hear
If you will unbow your head, stand still anticipating
Open up your burning eyes
All will be clear

Beneath a naked flame, there lies your own contentment
I know because I felt the burn in his song
But if your silken thread holds onto your resentment
Your eyes will burn in darkness
Your life long

This is actually a song...............

But if your silken thread holds onto your resentment
Your eyes will burn in darkness
Your life long

It sounds lyrical! I loved it, as usual. I think this one kind of struck a note of recognition in me for some reason. (sigh) I don't know how you do it! :)

Get these published, you're really good.

Beautiful song it is - Would love to hear this sung by Neva's beautiful voice. For those that don't know - Go to Neva's front page and listen to her sing - You won't be disappointed...

[MuSe Ampoule]

Truly beautiful write and great lyrics! Never let the darkness swallow your light! Beautiful work!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

That last verse is amazing... so true... if we allow the bad things in life to rule our existence then we are already dead.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Neva with the beautiful smile - this is almost as beautiful- I feel a sadness and loss reading ..flows like a sparkling brook..

"You bowed your head to escape from existence
Then you closed your burning eyes
On everything"

This is yet another world that you've allowed me to step into. One of self-doubt and salvation. Words crucifying the subject by their own hand.
Moral of the story: Sometimes all we have to do is get out of our own way.
J'adore :)
