Withering Strands Lyrics
Far from the Sun
And that frantic dash
Billions before it,
To Earth, had crashedBut in this expanse
Where huge trees unraveled
A new plant was struggling
Where light seldom traveledThis small searching stem
Glimpsed dawn upon dawn,
Dwarfed by gnarled limbs
From the day it was bornHope given over
To all that is brief
Amidst the detritus,
Dead leaf upon leaf
As its withering strands
Arched back towards earth,
Above it, a movement
A death to bring birthRays filtered, then poured
As a forefather fell
With the passing of giants,
The stem could now tellThat life would come quickly,
And it did, as it gorged
Transformed by the day
As the fueling light forgedFixated above,
The sky its sole purpose,
Its oblivious growth
Led the insects to surface
And small though they were,
En masse, they had come
To gnaw at its base
As it reached for the Sun
