It was miles and miles of open road
In a world so far away
Whence I set out to find my own abode
Where my soul could finally stay
And I travelled so far with no other thought
Than to never more go astray

Weakness
When the world is crumbling beneath your feet
No path to go forward, nowhere to retreat
Plans go up in smoke, life’s not what you know
Where do you run to, where do you go?
When you’ve fallen down so many times you can’t count
Too tired, too broken, but still battles mount
It feels like you’re losing more fights than you’ve won
Where do you find the strength to keep on?
When the road just keeps turning and winding so steep
The obstacles mount, it’s near too big a leap
You wonder if you’re even on the right road
Where do you find new speed when you’ve slowed?
There’s only one place of sufficient grace
He’ll walk with you, whatever you face

Own
Let go, don’t hold so tight inside
Stop fighting change and the unknown
Don’t go back where you used to hide
Release the fear and worry stone
You will never be alone
Reject the voice of guilt and wrong
You don’t deserve to live in pain
Don’t let blame sit where you belong
Stand strong and walk against the grain
You won’t be helpless again
Step outside of patterns set
Push back the past’s influence here
Don’t live in guilt, shame, or regret
Reclaim the truth and hold it dear
You don’t have to live in fear

Antique Pottery
Fine spider web cracks
Bending without breaking
Rough diamond chips
Standing without shaking
Fully broken pieces
Glued to even stronger
Worn and weathered edges
Lasting even longer
Healing and forgiveness
Held between each line
Promise, love, connection
These imperfections fine
