Song Description
A musical metaphor, posing the concept that, when we try to analyze intangibles, they continue to elude us; but when we just allow them to "be", and stop questioning them, they become fulfilling realities.

Lyrics
Breath in December
© 2001 Erik Tyler. BMI
Verse 1:
First snow ?
Lovely simplicity,
Fragile, falling freely.
Hands reach
To capture the wonder,
But, opening, find themselves empty.
Such is the way
With the mysteries of faith
And the things that seem ever beyond us;
When we let go
Of the hunger to hold,
Their beauty will fall all around us.
Chorus:
There?s a line
Where the tangible leans
On the threshold
Of the vast and unseen;
Eternity forms
Then quickly surrenders ?
Like breath in December.
Verse 2:
Listen ?
Heaven is whispering
Secrets softly spoken.
Eyes closed
In innocent hope
See the windows of Paradise open.
Miracles fade
With our quest to contain
The invisible and the uncertain.
And dare we presume
That the essence of truth
Lies on this side of the curtain.
