Beyond the Broken Glass
Beyond my eyes I cannot see
My sight impaired; to weak to keep hold
The autumn’s cold rain showers me beneath
As I envy the elegant purple clouds whispering above
When I look up the the skies, I keep dreaming and dreaming
One small black sparrow; nimble and quiet,
Too lost am I too fly beyond those stormy havens
Too dark is my heart to look,
Beyond the broken glass, up to the shining stars
