Let the day breathe רֶוַח (révaḥ) a space beneath relief, We make room for more-widen the place of our grief Feel the pressure ease-I carry you free-nightly refrain Put a space (רֶוַח)--between the droving drove of pain, A distance that revives us-creates-fresh morning rain, We survive-barely thin-a place between close and far, Let the pause in us linger--inch us nearer--bright star, Love doesn't suffocate burns light in a space we keep, Give us room--room to ache--room to smile--to weep, We don't need answers--sit beside me in a space to be We stay in that space with us wide the waves of a sea.

Let the Day Breathe
Let the day breathe רֶוַח (révaḥ) a space beneath relief, We make room for more-widen the place of our grief Feel the pressure ease-I carry you free-nightly refrain Put a space (רֶוַח)--between the droving drove of pain, A distance that revives us-creates-fresh morning rain, We survive-barely thin-a place between close and far, Let the pause in us linger--inch us nearer--bright star, Love doesn't suffocate burns light in a space we keep, Give us room--room to ache--room to smile--to weep, We don't need answers--sit beside me in a space to be We stay in that space with us wide the waves of a sea.
There are days within moments when we need space, a special place to breathe, and it helps just knowing you are there, whisper close, in that place in-between where we find meaning in each other, a purpose, who we are, together free. (rva)
