Glass Covered Beauty
(©1997 Ken Clinger)

glass covered beauty facing
distortion as we ponder
days reaching for a future
best left unknown to man
reaching where the water flows
shaking our heads in wonder
touching starlight overflows
broadcasting promised plans
are we alone in our
discovery of this wonderland

telephone calls are singing to you
messages in the open
radio songs amazingly true
reflecting your life today
strangers that smile and calling your name
revel in hearts unbroken
sunlight and shadow delight in games
combining inviting you to play
all of your doubts are now fading away
confident wonder display

glass covered beauty shining
amplified spark of wonder
years leading thru a future
consciously still unknown
thriving where the water flows
sharing our joys in wonder
dancing starlight overflows
whispers ascend from thunder
are we awake in this wonderland
we have always known

children question solidity
remember what is known
beyond this time
dreams are reaching worlds
where we’re still flying
soul is reaching past the mind
emotions balance then they give away
soul is teaching living beyond dying

glass hardened beauty hiding
rough edges from the outer
intentions never followed thru
in our waking hours
distant from the water flows
earth breaking our connection
thick illusion in control
darkness obscuring power
how have we grown
on this physical planet so alone

sunbeams evaporate
traces of morning dew
breezes of confidence
making their way to you
butterfly wings showing
light with a different view
darkness as energy
turning around in an alternate way
a message for you
a future beginning today

natural gifts rising
flowing from deep within
instinctive balance
with friendship as we begin
drifting away we see
edges are blurring
and walls tumble down
and love has its way
our future beginning today

magical breezes whisper to you
meanings are in the open
laughter as song is now breaking thru
expanding your life today
deep hidden doorways calling your name
voices from hearts unbroken
mystical gardens never the same
an alternate joy in each display
all of your sorrows have faded away
gratitude filling this day

glass covered beauty
gaining strength with each act of giving
confident love with no
restrictions for those receiving
living in the water flows
expansion new horizons
forward moving color show
opens before our eyes
then blend with the day
reveal wonderful ways we all shall grow

glass covered beauty
sharing all of its majesty
revealing the true location
shining in you and me
rise above the water flows
opening eyes in wonder
finding all we need to know
each moment has its plan
instinctive gifts giving
wisdom in love we understand.
