.. And I saw ... You..



On a night soaked with soft moonlight,
The sky peppered with diamond stars,
A wisp of breeze floated within
And softly whispered in my ears..
"I've brought something for you" it said..
And I asked " What?" It didn't reply..
But played with my hair, touched my lips..
Kissed my eyes..and then did fly..

I woke up on a misty morn
Touched by Dawn's fingers..
And that same breeze brushed across
My face, and there did linger..
I asked, " What have you brought for me?"
 No, not a word did it say
But poured in cascades of music through my ears..
Left me overwhelmed, and flew away..

But once I caught that gentle breeze,
Once, when it was twilight,
And the evening star opened her eyes
To watch Dusk melt into the night
I asked it" Who sends his love each day
Wrapped in your wings, say who?"
It said, " Close your eyes and look within."
I did, and I saw... You.
