ON THE BREEZE

A solitary petal shed, forlorn

Groping, to find my way alone,

O stranger wind from the land unknown

Will you be the one to lead me home?

Can you fly me with you

O gentle breeze,

Will you whisper to me

Your mysteries?

Take me up in your arms

And swirl me with care,

On your shallow eddies

And in your tangled hair.

Take me in, O tender breeze

And I'll twirl to your tunes,

And be the fetching fragrance

Wafting on your mystic runes.

Will you be my breeze forevermore

And whistle in my secret nooks,

Where none can feel your breath

But me, and see your doting looks.

Engulf me in your flowing cloak

Hold my hand in your mighty grip,

Hear my caring heart flutter tunes

Watch my faith dance on your fingertips.
