Just before I crash landed into doubt, There was a feeling, a quickening, a light Who poured over my spirit, stirring, inviting Me to listen to the whisper, the hush Preventing me from falling beneath the cloud Worries and fears, the haunting of dread, Murmuring words of uncertainty, suspicion Just before I lost the security of home, There was a sensation, emotional awakening Arousing my realization that this could be The moment, the impression, the impact Freeing me, releasing all the darkness, the black Sliding like dew down a petal – erasing the past With all its despair, filling me with surety Just before I fell into a world of haunting, Fears tumbling over my heart, preparing me For the night when shadows would plunge me Through the melancholic promises of a distrust, Disbelieving even the greatest of victories, Like fire burning up the dreams until instinct pulsed, As if I’d been kissed by the passing breeze of awakening On the shores of a silent wind, where miracles blend With hope and peace, faith that weaves a gentling Breathe of kindness, music caressing the inner place Where love restores and bleeds joy over sweet grace, Wonderful leaving the heart with a promise, a oath To bring comfort in rainbows of expectation, potential Never giving up… always leaning on the prayers that mingle… With love that never fades, love that leads us on our way To the moment when the breeze will finally say… Yes, I have lived and I have shined and I have smiled, With laughter, I have carried on – in the brilliance of a thought Who knows, who believes, who remembers to not grieve The moment when that kiss reached out, inspiring me to sigh Knowing I’d been kissed by the passing breeze of awakening… Forever, I will fly
