🎵 Child of Amber Light – Lalu Metev

[Intro]
[Fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft cello line]

[Verse 1]
The mirror counts the winters on our skin,

Yet something holy lingers deep within.

A quiet spark that time could never tame,

Calling the inner child by its true name.

Though lines may trace the journey on our face,

The light within retains its sacred grace.

[Verse 2]
Across the chasm where the cold winds blow,

We built a bridge from memories ago.

We kept the dreamer safe from frost and rain,

And turned the heavy silence into grain.

At every gate, a golden sun will stand,

To guard the innocence across this land.

[Chorus]
Forgiveness is the light, and memory the stone,

The only bridges standing when the winds have blown.

Life is transparent, deep and crystalline,

Where endless roots and new-born sparks entwine.

Stay in our eyes, you bright, playful flame,

Love is the root that time can never claim.

[Guitar & Cello Solo]
[Melancholic yet warm acoustic guitar and cello duet]

[Bridge]
Do not mourn for us as evening draws its shade,

The wheel of life spins on, but memories never fade.

New seeds are sprouting in the fertile ground,

Where quiet hope and open doors are found.

[Chorus]
Forgiveness is the light, and memory the stone,

The only bridges standing when the winds have blown.

Life is transparent, deep and crystalline,

Where endless roots and new-born sparks entwine.

Stay in our eyes, you bright, playful flame,

Love is the root that time can never claim.

[Outro]
The child within…

Carved from amber light.

A transparent soul.

An unbroken chain.

[Final soft strum fading out]

Lalu Metev, September 3, 2026.

I begin in the threshold where a word is not yet born and silence still remembers its breath. I write to shape what insists on being carried forward — not as ornament, but as revealed truth. My practice moves like inner weather: shifts of memory, tenderness, and the questions that refuse to leave us. Genres are rooms of one house — poems, essays, fragments, genealogies, musical sketches — each a voice in a single resonant chord. Even silence has its essential place in that chord. I attend to the small gestures that disclose identity; to the secret bridges between private life and collective memory; to the quiet architecture of the spirit that needs no ceremony. My aim is language that opens rather than decorates — windows through which readers encounter their own inner sky. Form, conscience and intimacy guide me: introspection keeps me honest; conceptual shape grants the invisible weight; moral sensibility anchors each phrase. My professions — poet, publicist, jurist — lean together: law sharpens clarity, poetry humbles certainty, philosophy teaches listening to what is unsaid. If a single thread unites my work, it is this: to transmute vulnerability into luminous strength and to make silence a place of meaning. I am Lalu Metev — Bulgarian poet, essayist and jurist. I write to preserve what is delicate and essential in the human spirit, to follow traces of memory and dignity, and to find where the personal meets the universal. This is the path I walk; this is the voice I follow; this is the presence I offer.
