## 🧠 ABOUT THE PROCESS
I transformed my original poem by adapting it into lyrics that were then used for a song generated using Suno, featuring my voice. Below you’ll find part of the original poem, the revised lyrics, and the musical version.
## 📜 ORIGINAL POEM
Sometimes the suffering of others enters the body like a wound of its own. Exhaling Stillness moves through helplessness before injustice, forgotten codes of honour and the fragile protections we build around ourselves. Somewhere between anguish and acceptance lies a middle way — a place where the fluttering heart grows quiet, knots slowly unravel, and breath returns through stillness.
Restless Times The road knows two sides Straight ahead Wall awaits Pacing left right and centre Footsteps a quagmire
[Verse] Restless Times, the road knows two sides Straight ahead, Wall awaits, train rides Pacing left to right and centre Footsteps a quagmire to enter
[Verse] Burnt desire memories Parchment Coded red, Bloodied lips garment utter light words of safe havens where roam free Peacocks and Ravens
[Verse] When mighty Dragons founded grace the brave Knights adopting their pace upheld the old code to appease Middle way lost in centuries
[Chorus] Spear pierces, its thrust solemn sigh Exposed flank receiving I cry Like a fluttering dove that weeps exhaling stillness as breath seeps
[Verse] Angels sway to tunes of morrows as voices crackle when sorrows through their subtle ways overcome the slight thunders of their low hum
[Verse] Knots untied slowly un-weaving The widows and sons bereaving The lost promises from anger Knitted faith protects no longer
[Chorus] Spear pierces, its thrust solemn sigh Exposed flank receiving I cry Like a fluttering dove that weeps exhaling stillness as breath seeps

## 🎼 ABOUT THESE VERSIONS
This piece has been interpreted across multiple musical styles using Suno, exploring how the same lyrics evolve through Cinematic, Indie and Trip-Hop influences.
I walked alone in a wild dream within darkness shone a bright beam eyes closed I followed a light stream a way to another future
My faith restored I took a leap a giant fall into the deep edges of me began to seep into the welcoming haven
My frame went through more than duress though no fools were left to impress I paved a way to sweet success my King, future consort to tame

Clenching jaws
follow new-found laws
Blast to cause
breath in pause
raking fingers turned to claws
revealing the flaws
We diffuse
the powers to use
Golden hues
fragrant dews
a conflagration to choose
aching sunset bruise
Bodies hold
memories of old
tales untold
lo behold
they speak of the soul once sold
for silver, not gold
Reading of the poem:
Snowdrops wilted face
Hidden thoughts of forgiveness
Frostbite a habit
Elongated shades
Lifetimes of togetherness
corpses of morrows
Musketeers battling
My eyelids a moist valley
Future renderings
My mind sits so still
in flutter of a heartbeat
I hear thousand drums
Lilies in the night
sixty-six and six hundred
sacrificed in flight
Bottomless terror
Roots of nothingness prevail
Heart in black to sail
Pantomimes dance wild
I harbour within me child
of golden years dreamt
I scale back horrors
Endings rewind beginnings
Magic soars within
In scent’s memory
I can smell the spring coming
oozing out of trees
Tomorrow’s leaves fly
Crunch of green lift my feet slight
Windows heed doors’ cry
Reading of the poem:
She sees through ugly
Her eye torn into darkness
Her gait leftover fancy
Of a lifetime of duress
She prays to the Gods
Her hands temple of fervours
Her mind beating the odds
Through failing faith that hovers
She adjusts composure
Her mouth a tomb of secrets
Her heart seeks closure
Her chest a book of regrets
She breathes sunlight
Her nose a cathedral
Her shoulders set into fight
Tomorrow a sight feral
