I breathe in the music of twilight,
Glistening, glowing, glimpsing the melodies
Trying to sing along…

Love notes washing over my spirit, 
Reflecting the gentle,
Swathing my life in the miracles, wonders
Wafting through the wind’s poetry,
Painless moments, blessings
Moving from the darkness, shadows
To the light, where my heart glows, warmed
By the passions stirred from colors embracing me…

I breathe in the music of each snowflake,
Frostlike joys, sparkling 
Truths blowing beyond the silent night,
Reassuring my spirit – it will be alright,
The moments tremble with a wisdom in verse,
Visions shimmering, rising from the earth,
Soundless prayers, from lips of light,
Restoring, inviting, arising to life’s sigh…

Lavender hills harken to my senses,
Reflecting the songs,
Rhythms of grace, gifted praise,
Awakening my spirit, 
Silencing the waves of discord,
Reminding me of light that restores,
Laughter that delights the soul….

I breathe…
Harmony of wind and seas,
Shimmering in whispers, wistful
Soothing away melancholy,
Inviting me to see through the leaves,
Imitating the prayers, life’s peace,
Flowing on the edges of grace,
Still as the blessings, who fade,
Dreams beckoning, dazzling
As the daybreak, where the night’s voice,
Speaks hope to the moments,
Songs who can’t wither away….

Notes of light, softly enfolded
In my heart’s glowing, faith
So amazing – I’ll always sing, praising
The One who made the stars, 
Left the heart with such admiration,
Blessings poured out, love
Like the wonders of a soul, blessings
Soft and soothing, sending songs
Melodies rich with light,
Playing on the heart who believes,
The soul who agrees…

I breathe…
	More powerful music than hearts see,
		When they envision the purpose of the trees,
			When they lean into the winds, the gracious seas…

I breathe… 
	Songs of light, love, layered in grace,
		Sending so much wonder with each embrace,
			From the stars, the sun, the moon’s sweet face….

I breathe…
	Because without this breath of hope,
		I couldn’t dream, I couldn’t cope,
			There wouldn’t be this quiet slope…

Leading me to the lasting peace,
	The sense of meaning found in believing…

I breathe… in the gusts of a soul’s embrace,
	The invaluable songs that sing, await…
I breathe… music that allows my heart to praise…
	The One who made a way through the dusk,
		Into the wonder of His everlasting love!

Love so amazing… I’ll forever be praising!
Love so amazing… I’ll ever be gazing… a song in my heart,
Singing of love that never stops giving – 
Love that never stops singing…
	The song His love is bringing,
		The bells of love keep ringing…

I breathe… and just keep on singing!
