In a Lifetime

And as the rain it falls
Begin again
Heavy in my heart
As the storm breaks through
Believe the light in you
So the light shines in you
Without color, faded and worn
Torn asunder in the storm

Healing Happens

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio
 
You might as well have been tied down…
tied down to a rail road track
You might as well have been pushed off
Niagara Falls in a paper sack
You might as well have been locked out
pushed down or held back
You might as well have been subjected to
something that you could not hack

Hope Has A Place

One look at love, and you may see
It weaves a web over mystery
All raveled threads can rend apart
For hope has a place in the lover's heart
Hope has a place in a lover's heart
