I don't really agree anymore with the abortion idea. I don't think Paul would write something that literal.
I get a story from this though...like it's someone on his deathbed, who has lived a bit of a rolling stone, devil-may-care lifestyle or whatever you'd say, never staying in one place, doing whatever he wanted without thinking about the consequences. And as he is dying he starts to consider all of the things he has done and wants to take them back. He feels like the world is coming down on him and he doesn't know how to deal with it, and he's regretful....the images of the clouds and the sun on fire seem to me to be that regret coming over him, or maybe it is his fearful image of death overtaking him.
"Pick a rose to hide my face"--I don't know. It just brings up this idea of following passion, to me.
