O you passing winds,

Tread softly –

For these flowers,

Which create the ambience of life

Are nodding off to sleep.

O you passing winds,

Tread softly –

For the fiery warmth of the sun

Is dwindling as the piercing blue skies

Pass along the torch

To the heavenly moonlit night.

O you passing winds,

Tread softly –

For my beloved is also tiring,

And I see sleep descending

Upon those weary eyes.

O you passing winds,

Tread softly –

For I want to allow my beloved to dream….

Dreams of happiness….

Dreams of comfort….

Dreams of the love I cannot express.

Such a love

That causes my eyes to overflow with tears

As I realize

That everything I have ever wanted

Now sleeps in my arms.

Those sparks of life

That have until now haunted me

Are now blazing fires

That rage within my heart,

And the only solace

Is the comfort of your presence.

I only wish that time could stand still

And that this closeness never end

Because any distance

Leaves me with a loneliness

Where even this wayward wind

Will not tread.

In the quiet stillness,

There is a chill in the air

And the world slowly fades away,

Leaving only you and me –

A union of two hearts….

A union of two dreams….

A union of two souls….

I warm myself

With every passing breath –

As if each breath

Were a sign of life in this increasing stillness.

But even these bitter tears

Have a touch of sweetness,

For they originate from the purest of love.

A love so pure

That these very words

Which attempt to express that love

Are simply a desecration,

For words could never fathom

The seas of emotion that lay within.

O you passing winds,

Tread softly –

For I want to watch my beloved sleep.

O you passing winds,

Tread softly –

For I want to hold my beloved in peace.

O you passing winds,

Tread softly –

For I want to love my beloved.
