"Let Me Sit Beside You" Night, dark and deep, falls In blue curtained heaviness, sadness Dampens the folds, paling Its diamond-dusted display. I weep, alone, cradling my soul... Longing, yearning, searching For a peace I once knew.. An absolution to my torment. Whispers, faint but persistent, Move within my draped solitude, Like memories that do not fade And will not relent. Words I have heard before drift Upon the stillness. 'Let my eyes drink a sky of stars And paint them upon your soul. Let me quench your thirst With the still waters of silver moon. And soothe the bitter taste Of grief that lays upon your tongue. Let me warm you in midnight velvet Easing the chill of uncertainty. Let me fill you with the promise Of morning... and sing for you A hymn of new beginnings. Let my breath be yours Until you can breathe again. Let my name linger within your heart And let me sit beside you.' Is this not what I long for... Peace and hope? 'Let my eyes drink a sky of stars... Let my breath be yours.' Reaching out...timid hands Part velvet curtains And I see Faith waiting there Holding unshed tears. 'Let me quench your thirst... 'Let me sit beside you.' And I do. I believe it is time.
