You are sweet and gentle
A believer
A saint and a hermit
A giver
Kind to a fault
So when you put your hopes in me
Hopes of love
Of forgiveness
And you wish for me to bring to you
The moon
That reflects the sun
And lights up your path
On long dark nights
When you long for me
To bring you
The comfort of a shoulder
I become that eye lash
That fell lovingly on your cheek
That you carefully held
And closed your eyes
And blew upon gently
With steadfast intent
And made a wish
With just a hint of a hopeful smile
I feel the weight that
That eyelash must carry
Wanting to search
And bring you
What you long for
But you quietly look at me
And tell me
That it is for you to wish
For me to be just a messenger
And for Another to grant
You make me feel light
Again
So let me be the one
You continue to wish upon
I will feel I am
Still looking
Through your eyes
Elusive Silence
