ORIGAMI SWAN

Hold me in your heart like an origami swan  
and let the moonlight breathe me into being;  
hold me in your heart like an origami swan~
a spell half-heard when ancient tides move on.

In silver hush I drift beyond all seeing,
and let the moonlight breathe me into being;
hold me in your heart like an origami swan,
and let the moonlight breathe me into being.
