A Gentle Breeze

A gentle breeze walks through the night

Without disturbing sleep.

It whispers at the window—

Deep that calls to deep.

Out of the night there comes a light

The eyes of day can’t see.

The light forms sound in words profound:

The love you have for me.

(Chorus)

Into the darkness of the night

A light I never knew:

The love you have for me;

The love I have for you.

I no longer fear the shadows

Of the dangers lurking there

For I’ve found peace and safety

In the love that we two share.

A silver star walks through the night

Across a silent sky.

A moment and infinity

Together in it fly.

Freedom’s call to one and all

With strength to follow through:

Peace in strife the whole of life,

The love I have for you.

A gleaming moon walks through the night

And slips into the room.

It brings soft light to darkness

Dispelling cold and gloom.

In it I see you come to me--

An angel moving there.

You hold me near and melt my fear:

The love that we two share.
