i’m here
my dear
i’m clear
and bright
and true
with every single breath
every single smile
every single step of
every single mile
the truth
comes slowly
and that’s okay (or so they say)
I choose
to be with you
to see it through
both night and day
so i can say...
she’s a rare bird
she sing a sweet song
she lives where words work
like a magic wand
she took a vow of silence
to see if she could find it
the power behind it
the hour is timeless
where spirit meets science
the wind speaks soft as a whisper
four streams kiss, become one river
now we’re back, before we began
in the middle of the garden
with the future in our hand
at that exact moment
we could never understand the extent
or the ramifications of the plan...
the horrific noise of that one choice
shattered our shelter, she had to use her voice
to try to make it right, to try to bring us back,
rom darkness to the light, this is the only path.
I'm here...
and so she flew away
leaving an empty nest
except for this tune to play
when we needed rest
but no one can agree
on how its supposed to sound
. . .
she’s nowhere to be found
all alone she cries
its like a nightmare
nobody dries her eyes
or even slightly cares
and this is how its been
for so long she can’t remember when
she used to sing all day
with the whispering wind
at the top of the tree
she thought we were friends...
the horrific noise...
I'm here...
we’re all too busy
to notice what we’re missing
that’s why she says
stretch in the seventh inning
she’ll come back
but we have to ask her
with our tears and laughter
to clear the fear factor
we can’t be afraid
we have to be brave
i say it face to face
we need to change our ways
take time to create space
and make a major wave
through letters that we send her
so tender full of praise
three times a day
she bathes in praise
while we wait
we pray to gain in faith
and grow in joy
so we can act in love
come back my dove
you promised us
that you’d never leave
we still have your memory
we said we’d be right here
she said you better be.
הנה אני ידידי הנני
בכל לבבי ובכל נפשי
בכל מאדי ובכל בשרי
בידו אפקיד רוחי
ולא אירא רע כי אתה עמדי
