Love and Solitude (Gracious Kiss)

I am perched outside your window
you've probably heard my song
springtime into summer
I fall silent, then I'm gone
    you might have thought you'd seen me
    through the branches in the trees
    across the falling sky
    probably brought you to your knees
I am soft as a feather
invisible on the breeze
I am walking in your garden
and the silence between the trees
    I am the motion of the river
    the love that heals your heart
    the stillness of the lake
    the mystery beyond the stars
I believe in love and redemption
when you've broken all the rules
lost your emotions on the highway
treated others cruel
    I travel greatest distance
    without moving very far
    seeking breath in perfect spaces
    like the strings on this guitar
We resist the faith inside us
don't hear beauty when she calls
get stuck in apprehension
and the silence between walls
    we defend our perfect argument
    oh, how we fight and we resist!
    somewhere between Love and Solitude
    we'll find the Gracious Kiss
