Turned

The page is turned to next
The decision has brought a new path
The fork has yawed the way asunder
I have been guided to where
I have lost my way or found it
Age held me in its grasp
Truth absconded from me
Reality ripped away in the torrential storm
I was sent or shown the course
I was given the only destination
Was I really being guided by luck?
Was I merely lead into my demise?
I thought I knew the way to go
I thought I had the terminus in mind
But somehow I was lead astray
Somehow I was turned.

M. Pinnell

Imperfect

My heart is broken
and I miss every beat,
But He carries me home.
His love is never ending
As I fall and tumble over,
Like a rolling stone.

As darkness comes, 
I’m caught in the moonlight.
But He covers over my pain
So a million angels,
can stem the oceans tide
And keep me dry again.

Bruised and unstable,
I am weak and afraid
He shelters me from the storm.
And when my ship is sinking
He calms the waters,
now I am reborn.
