I Was the Picture In a Frame

I was the picture 
In a frame
A tornado moved
Me from the wall
Though my framework
Is bent and dented
I smile throughout
It all.
I was the picture 
In a frame
Raging floods
Carried me away
My framework
Swelled and molded
Still my smile
it did not sway
One day the sun 
Came shining through
Reflection fades to
Transparency
The effigy truly
Peeled and torn
IT WASN'T ME!

Power and Peace

One tiny drop, vulnerable
Evaporation possible
Accumulation masterful
Raging wall ,mountain moving
Energy eased
Calm, life giving.

House of Broken Dreams

In the house of broken dreams
Window panes are made of tears
And the paper on the wall
Draws the picture of my fears

It's a never place to be
Broken pieces line the floor
The hopes that now once were
Turn to mist forever more.

Time to leave those dreams so cherished
In old visions far behind
To  bravely seek the new, the real
And healthy faith in what I'll find

Let go, let God, move on
Ahead toward what as yet may be
And with the passing old to new
Build a house called Me.

Look At You

Where am I looking?
Beyond this minute
Beyond this action
Beyond your face

Where am I moving?
Beyond this minute
Beyond this action
Beyond your face

Where is my future?
Beyond this minute
Beyond this action
Beyond your face

Tomorrow , I will look at you
Tomorrow , I will move toward you
Tomorrow , I will be with you
Hey , where did you go?
