Come sit with me my dear,

*Even the Stars need the Darkness to shine.

If only we could run away
To a land where no one hurts.

How quickly I would go to stay
Unnoticed but never alone.
Real life isn't like the movies:
Too bad, I think to myself, the
Starry skies gazing down at me.

Love, the bittersweet enemy of mine,
Idolized and envied by the naive.
Keeping quiet, my heart screams with
Equal feelings of hate and anger.

How easy it is to see the impact
Everlasting, the way they tear down my
Life; yet without that hidden place to hide in, the
Land beneath our feet falls apart.

You've forgotten how to have a proper conversation
An award-winning dialogue is scripted in your head
Ready to bloom like bouquets from your mouth
But only petals drift down
And nothing takes root

When was the last time the word "again"
Became a melody to your ear?
That whenever you say "again,"
There is power, there is greatness,
there is grace, there is mercy
and there is love.

When "again" brings life to your soul
And you are revived,
More than the air you ever breathed
More than the tears your eyes have ever shed.

You will find your rest
You will rest in miracles
You will see yourself: in Spirit and in Truth
You, doubting your doubts
You, believe your beliefs.

When sorrows turned to joy
When failure becomes not a loss
When pride falls short
When sin has no power
When death is unknown
And when life becomes your being.

When you believe you can cast out mountains
When there is no abyss of fear
When darkness has no room
And when light becomes your moon and sun
When there is Heaven in His arms.

You have a promise of hope
And in His Name, it is safe.
He has the promise to keep
And He's pleased to do "It" again
Coz "again" --
Believe, it's His thing
It's His thing to do "It" again.
