Night Breezes

a wicked ghost whispers
as it passes me by
riding the chilling night breeze
of a distant memory
      encouraging me to mourn
      for all that I have lost
      all that's slipped from my grasp
      the chances I failed to take
but my heart puts the ghost to rest
with a whisper of my own
I am who and where
God wants me to be
      then the chilling night breeze
      turns warm and makes me smile
      as I wrap my arms around
      today's memory of love pure and true
