When I look inside of me I see
Pieces of rain
Pieces of a frame
That is apart of me .

I see what I have created
I see what has been made by me
I see a light that shines so bright
Such as the morning sunrise

Oh! I see colored rays
Reds, yellows and blues
Waiting to take me to a higher place
To days and days of inner peace
To a place that lays lightly on my heart
That place is now

Crystal rain drops
Pouring into the valley
Of my soul

No longer lost or too afraid
To behold the beauty inside of me

Beauty that has not a face
But yet a smile
Beauty that has no hands
But yet it is reaching out to you
Beauty that has no feet
But it can stomp open a mighty mountain
And fill it with love

When I look inside of me
I see you my friend

Yes

You are a tower of burning power
Longing for the strength
You already have
Like me

The best things in life we already have
It is a given
It is you and me

Revelation here
Revelation now
Revelation set free

It is hard for some of us to actually see the inner us beacuse we live lives of many diffrent make-ups so thank you for sharing and maybe some of us can actually see the real inner me.

This is lovely. To know yourself, that you recognize your own strengths and weaknesses, helps you to understand others better as well. We all have an inner beauty of some kind don't you think? Being able to let it out and share it, brings love in return.
Anyway, I like most poetry, even when I don't understand it all, ha ha. I enjoyed reading this.
Thanks.

The picture represents the light inside of us all . Thank you .

Tuwanda..This has really touched my heart in ways you might cant imagine, but somehow I feel you do. I have been a Christian all of my life, but like many I strayed away and lived a life that was not very becoming to the Lord. Four years ago I prayed to please take these cravings away from me. Praise him to glory because he did. Since that time I have walked his path. As I was watching TBN last night, I watched a program about how God sends people into your life in the times you are struggling. Not that I was thinking of going back to my old ways, but I have a hard time forgiving myself for my past. I struggle with this deeply. As I know I am forgiven, I have a hard time forgiving myself. So to close I just wanted you to know how your poem..has touched my heart. I feel God has sent you to me to uplift me, and you did. Thanks again Tuwanda!

Thanks look forward to reading more of your work.

Matthew Emmett Townsend Oct 16, 2006, 7:00pm EDT
Tawanda, this is wonderful. May one ask what your insperation was... I alwasy like to lok at what prompted me to write articles or poems, I learn something of myself when i realise what is teaching/prompting/guiding me at times of creation.

Well done,A JOY TO READ.
tuwanda t. Oct 16, 2006, 8:26pm EDT
Emmet it is amazing how this happen. I had no idea that I was about to write a vast description of parts of my spirit. It was as if God took my deemed eye sights and focused it inside of me. I was in so much pain I could barely walk with my stick. The thought of my twin sons away in Iraq and the thought of me going to work

today was all overwhelming. But my fingers hit key after key. I understood every

prompt of my teacher. I could see it as it began to unfold. Right now I can feel it all

over again. All of a sudden nothing else mattered, Just like right now. Nothing else

matters. Thank you for asking.
tuwanda t. Oct 16, 2006, 8:43pm EDT
Liz the tower of power represents our human spirit made in the likeness and image

of God. The picture of the sun is a comparison of the light of our human spirits. I

know nothing of the TV preacher. Thank you for your wonderful honesty..
tuwanda t. Oct 16, 2006, 8:46pm EDT
Thanks Hop!!!

A beautiful, rising, clariant, uplifting hymn of praise for the beauty of our fellow "pilgrims," seen in our own lives by reflection. Superb.

Tuwanda,
Thank you for alerting me to this wonderful poem of yours. I could follow the person behind the voice; inside the body; generating the mind. Very dear! peace.
