melting through the shadows, 
caressing the endless melodies of peace
pouring forth from the eternal dreams,
rescuing the seeds of yesterday’s...

Touching the azure heavens, skies
Alive with wisps of clouds, snowy
White breaths of peacefulness

Joy, bursting from the nocturnal 
Forging through the silence,

Without faith is anything true?
Does the heart truly feel?
Does the mind know what is real?

Uplifted toward the skies
Small and fragile
Yet filled with a strength
Only heaven can give
With the gift of grace
