## 🧠 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

Born into motion and carried by invisible winds, the song traces the gradual undoing of self through time. Through images of flight, wind, paper, breath, and migration, the song explores the erosion of identity as every passing hour rescinds another fragment of origin. Suspended between mortality and transformation, the piece moves through noir landscapes of memory, erosion and spiritual fatigue.

We are born
Like in a whirlwind
The hours strike
Our birth’s time
Like flame of burning candle
Sketched in the tempest

## ✍️ ADAPTED LYRICS

[Verse]
We are born like in a whirlwind
The hours strike, our birth’s time rescind
Like flame of a burning candle
sketched in the tempest to handle

[Verse]
We grow needs, the crowning of life
wilting through what heart heeds in strife
Within heated morrows I sow
food for my own thought, me to know

[Verse]
There are shades painted within me
where I find alternates to see
Possibilities to breathe slow
scarcity of you while you grow

[Verse]
We are born like paper airplanes
From our shining selves none remains
The winds all calm rip, the winds lift
They set us alone and adrift

[Chorus]
Holy grails within my faint grasp
The air leaving me as I gasp
Through the flying times I knelt
my tidings the nails in wrists felt

[Verse]
I am not, my death is open
like a book, angular, folden
Each corner is a tilting point
where I die some more, to anoint

[Verse]
The fate blind, she grants me token
Of morrows where I lie broken
A closed copy of myself saved
within a deep-set narrow grave

[Verse]
We are born like a flight of geese
The Northern skies are ours to please
As we yearn Southern, panicked flight
lifts and casts us from left to right

[Verse]
Fortune said she favours the brave
I forgot mottos, she chose knave
Oh, to wish upon a new day
untainted by sigh in lung’s way

[Chorus]
Holy grails within my faint grasp
The air leaving me as I gasp
Through the flying times I knelt
my tidings the nails in wrists felt

The Gods are sleeping

Their infinite arms outstretched

Embracing our frames

 

The Gods are sleeping

Moss and heather cover them

Dark their sheltered caves

 

The Gods are sleeping

Their hair miles of cypresses

Wisps heave in the winds

 

The Gods are sleeping

Their faces emblems of peace

Bodies a firm rock

 

The Gods are sleeping

They dream plans to overcome

The human frailty

 

The Gods are weeping

Their tears a river of pain

Bondage unending

Rushing winds

Whistling through the night

As I rise

Within skies

We are more to realise

Boundless our soul’s core

 

Breathe me more

I am humming heart

We gather

When we start

Travel to the edge of dreams

To heat of sunbeams

 

Inside me

Photons whiz madly

Journey on

Relentless

Infinity extending

Hands towards the sky

Fly away

The road is clear now

We will soar

Above clouds

Way up above the dark crowds

That hover so bleak

 

Fly away

We will reach the peak

Of bosoms

That will seek

An ounce of retribution

Fate absolution

 

Fly away

Under the treetops

Over roofs

Above hills

Winds blow on my window sills

The windchimes alert

Fairy dance

Nibbles at my feet

At Midnight

Witching hour

Time opens up the flower

Petal at a Time

 

I blow rhyme

She blows the bubbles

They reach me

In music

Overcoming the rubble

Of a life crumbling

 

Frame tumbling

Hastiness reflects

Intentions

Set so deep

Inside Heart promises keep

What the mind rejects

 

Send me note

Summon me a flute

We will play

While they shoot

Shadows on the wall the same

Intention in game

 

Hurried steps

Down winding staircase

That the winds

Whistle through

Patterns projected untrue

The light sometimes lies

 

Hear my sighs

I bleed contr’alto

Bridges lift

Heart’s gusto

Takes frozen frame in tempo

Into a New Age

Reduced frame

Angel came in size

Of fragment

Of herself

Offered to the elements

Raging throughout world

 

Cat viewed her

Mistaking for mouse

Gobbled her

Dorsal parts

Left her shivering in winds

That tore through the Earth

 

Shed the wings

Cough out the feathers

The Angel

Told the cat

Flying is not for felines

Even through tummies

Breathing Life

Into lungs that singe

With dust rife

Blowing winds

Across the tides that ripple

With the waves of change

 

Weep the tears

Of togetherness

We confess

In duress

To moments of lone weakness

When target seems stalled

 

Mirror walled

The strength I muster

Breaking free

Shards recalled

Building tomorrows’ smiles

In the bees cluster

Brotherhood

Once raised to do good

Cloaked in hood

Wed the wood

Branded fellows cattle food

Goal misunderstood

 

The resolve

Of star bred absolve

Problems solve

Winds revolve

Magnitudes where they devolve

Humans to evolve

 

Destiny

Oracles that see

History

Law of Three

Wade in waters to the knee

End of my Journey

Skies that rise

Forgotten the wise

Set sunrise

On demise

The nothing in glaring beam

To be what they seem

 

Birds that mock

Seasons out of stock

Set the lock

On havoc

Desolation way of stream

In the human dream

 

None to stand

I let go Her hand

Cattle brand

In the land

No power left to rewind

Destiny of blind

 

Sands that grind

Rising seas unkind

Stars that wind

In Her mind

Death oncoming theirs to find

Earth in crust to bind

 

Dust piling

Thunder beguiling

Ropes filing

Times riling

Unshed the voice of the meek

In the desert streak

 

Ceilings peel

Pillars downtown reel

Tendrils feel

Tombstones seal

Winds of raging death that reek

Of destruction’s peak
