On westerly breeze
come words from afar
meant to soften the heart
honest and true?
only time will tell
as yet we are still apart
like earth lying buried
beneath winter snow
I tremble a wish on my lips
for things that could be
the feel of your warmth
the touch of your fingertips
the words from your heart
and soul mirror mine
the time we will meet
drawing near
I pray you are true
sincere in your quest
and wait for you
patiently here
