There's a certain strand
of joy missing in
your smile today,

A certain kind of peace
which not so long ago
seemed to remain
in your face forever.

And I can't help but wonder--
what pains your
heart now?

Would it bear any comfort
if I told you everything
is alright?
even though it never is?

But it will be,
it always does.

Nobody will ever know
how deep the river
you're wading in now,
how dark the path
you're walking--

All I can tell you
is that you are
not alone--
Look, the sun shines for you--
Listen, the winds sing for you--
Know, the stars weep for you--

And I amongst them
--weeping as you weep
--dying as you are dying,

Inside your heart--how
I wish I could meet you
there and embrace you..

even for just a moment
to restore that certain
strand of joy, that certain
kind of peace.
