Branches in the puddle on the sidewalk
dark against the pale face of the sky
broken pictures of a broken world
windows to a place like mine
but not the same
I wonder – do they cry there?
The wind, it leaves the flowering branches crying
raining down their life over my face
little echoes of what I was made for
pieces of a near, dear place
but far away
I wonder – would I know it?
Sky like water in the painter’s paint glass
wide and watery and dirty white
quiet veil over the face of God
dripping glory from behind
but here inside
I wonder – could it fill me?
