In a Breath

Carry on, oh breath of air Fill what time cannot Bring what silence soon forgets Seek what has been sought Dearest moon, where have you gone? Must you turn away? Once the face that smiled wide Steal another day Hold to me as once I knew As once within a dream By a day, I've come a night Yet all has lost its gleam What remains but songs unsung? What but broken chords What but bleeding candlesticks What but treasure stored What he sees defines his truth But truth knows not the eye Truth lies in a beating heart In what has come alive Heart of silence, dare to hope Dare to breathe once more All of what is yet to come Shall break all come before And in a moment, in a breath Everything will change Every truth will find its light Everything will change
