I CAN'T SEE

My brother mentioned the term, "Holy See", much too many times over lunch and dinner that I got lost in the family conversation. Since the elders in the family talked over Catholic liturgical rites and church officials, I imagined that the term meant a fat cardinal squatting on a throne in Rome, whose eyes are glued to a very big telescope that focuses on each Catholic church all over the world.

The Wikipedia defined it as: "The Holy See (Italian: Santa Sede; Latin: Sancta Sedes; Ecclesiastical Latin: [ˈsaŋkta ˈsedes]), also called the See of Rome, is the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Rome, the episcopal see of the Pope, and an independent sovereign entity. It serves as the central point of reference for the Catholic Church everywhere and the focal point of communion due to its position as the pre-eminent episcopal see of the universal church. Today, it is responsible for the governance of all Catholics, organised in their Particular Churches, Patriarchates and religious institutes."

Well... at least, my idea, though inaccurate, is still funny. Don't you agree?

Evermore

I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never needed anybody in my life
I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but she's still there
I let her steal into my melancholy heart
It's more than I can bear

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore

I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach
She's never out of sight

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she runs away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, come what may
Wasting in my lonely tower
Waiting by an open door
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And be with me for evermore

This is a song of someone who never thought of falling in love but has to let go of the one he loves, and still pines for that same person.

It is very painful. I can fully relate to it. Given the chance and if my vocal chords permit, I will sing this song-- with feelings.
