Like a Breeze Passing

Like a breeze passing
you pass through me.
Not a hair moves
yet molecules dance
in ancient patterns
a life's romance
with change is kindled
as wisps of feeling merge
into whispers of thought.
Fair floating spirit-
your delicate wanderings
are the cool blue touch
of new ideas.
My breath becomes a prayer
as in this lightness
you pass through me.
