The Breeze
When the breeze uncombs my hair
And the water reflects my trembling soul
My steps will search for the narrow aisle
Towards the light they?ll go.
A person certainly will be there
?Someone to watch over me?
(Oh, not Gershwin, I bet!)
But someone special it has to be.
Enough of myself,
I want "mybody" else
To share, divide, multiply
To connect me into this and try
To obtain the confidence
In angels, saints, forget-me-nots
And cross the brand new fence
Through the plain land of gods.
If resting in the arms of Morpheus
Means having you, my dear,
Life, farewell,
I'm on my way, with no fear.
By the time another breeze drops by
And uncombs my quiet eyes
Once again I'll smell the rich soil
The flowers, the trees, the royal.
This breeze will ask you to come along
By tunning you an appealing song:
To love me truly and with me stay
For this, my unknown beloved, I pray.
