Consolation by Elisabeth Cooper

Let me bring you in

To rest a while

Until all your tears make a salty sea

And love comes in like softness to win


Sit at my table

Like a friend at midnight calling

For grace and understanding


Come to the meadow

Lay beside me as the stillness 

Moves the pain to leave


Let me bring you in

I’ll stand so you can fall 

inside my heart tonight

And kindness isn’t faith long forgotten


Run to the river

For my healing in the water

Stirring as doubt flees


Sit in the garden

Where memories are planted

In the forgiving soil of justice
