Stay Here a While
Words by Rachel Painter
It wont look like today. The distance, I mean. The horizon you can’t see.
Stay here a while, listen. I understand things have changed.
Caught in the middle, in the open, out from where you’ve been.
Come over here. A sanctuary just for you, watch the changing of the season.
I know your anxious thoughts. Just watch. You aren’t where you think you are.
We’ll trace the stream of bluebells, walk the path of promise, a road cleared for love.
Out of the woods, into the grander things - they surround you.
It’s where the river meets the tide. I know you can’t see it now. I know you’re asking if you’ve got what it takes.
You have nothing to fear. Because where my river flows your life will abound.
Come re-enter the present with me, follow the river. You’ll find me here.
I am with you. Always.
