The Water's Edge
"The Water's Edge"
Once I dreamt of a softly spoken angel,
that only the heart could hear...
As I stood at the waters edge,
I knew that she was near.
My soul cried out,
for a healing hand,
and as I closed my eyes...
The angel spoke her silent words,
and the water began to rise.
As I stood at the waters edge,
her voice became more clear...
As the water rose above my head,
I no longer had a fear.
She spoke to me with sweet harmony,
and my pain flowed away...
She reached out with a loving hand,
and then began to say,
May peace be with you, on this day,
and may you lose all your fears,
My love will always be in your heart,
and in your soul and tears...
I will always be here for you,
no matter what may come,
And in your heart you'll always know,
what true faith can become.
As I opened my eyes,
and watched the waters recede,
I felt it had to be a dream...
But I knew in my soul and in my heart,
life is never what it seems.
Now every time I walk along,
the peaceful waters edge...
Her voice sings out to me,
and I feel like I can fly,
right off a mountains ledge.
I remember her words and feel no more pain,
and I close my eyes again...
And while the breeze blows by, she lets out a sigh,
As all of my pain washes away.
