The Silent Awakening

I dreamt I was born a girl

Living alone in the world

Passing the hours away

I looked into the face of sorrow

Tempted by the taste of tomorrow

And the scent of yesterday

But that was only a dream of a dream

This world is not what it seems

We are the wind that carries the seeds

We are the roots of the banyan tree

We are love offered on the wing

That stretches across eternity

We are a chord in life's symphony

We are the silent awakening

I dreamt that I could not find you

Always a step behind you

Could not see your face

Wandering around the maze

Of illusion's dusty haze

A soul with no resting place

And only love can lift the veil

The veil away

Only love can take it's place

And I have traveled long and far

Just to come home to your grace
