Analysis of Piercing gaze
Piercing gaze embodying woe,
Lackéd moment of ecstasy
here below. Your skyward vision
breaks beyond towards the deep, and
shakes the beloved one from sleep.
You take on the burden of which
we caused—those which move stumble still
without pause. Still yet do you make
the light-bright shine upon the wounds.
Beckoning beyond back to Womb
