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
