Analysis of Far Away

Darryn John Murphy

Barely, I sense my sense of worth
No more moral deeds have I committed?
My heart pines beneath the moonlight
Pale moonlight lingers upon the windowsill

How is it fair that there’s no life in me
Is this the way that things are meant to be
Some how life is spinning deep inside of me
Shall I wait beside the river?
Questioning, life and all it brings to me

Sometimes I feel committed in my mind
Gathered are my feelings, are my thoughts just intertwined
Fade to gray beyond the bay fall to black among the clay

Give me reason, shall I shelter from the rain
Frozen footsteps in the prism, how I sense my sense of pain
Far away, I’m on the inside gently basking in the moonlight
Seven seeds are always hidden from the shadows in the maze

My heart yearns beside the lonely candle, shadows cast upon the wind
One life leaving, one sense of worth I still believe in
Everything keeps changing, like the fall of endless seasons
Hallowed whispers beckon me, banyan be my troubled heart
