Beyond the Window

So as an Artist , my inspirations come mostly in the evenings when Its quiet. 

This evening my love has gone on to bed ahead of me and I have been reflecting on many things happening in my life, as well as my quit. These words for a new song and or poem fell on my heart after  wrote them. I titled it BEYOND THE WINDOW.  I started to google the words " Beyond the Window" just to see if there might be a neat picture to put with this blog. What I found was astounding. There is already a song published with this title.

 I found the lyrics this beautiful song called " Beyond the Window

I am sharing to with you as well as my own lyrics/poem titled "Beyond the Wndow" Maybe you will connect. My creator never fails to bring me to my knees...as this one did. My own renditions follow after Jasons........ If anyone can attach Jasons video, I would greatly appreciate it~ I just don't know how , I am 'computer challenged".' LOL

Jason Upton lyrics : "Beyond The Window"

Take it real deep inside
Breathe reality inside now
Take a breath of the pure oxygen of heaven now

And just believe... just believe...
Just believe... just believe...
Just believe... just believe...

In the moment where it looks like you lost all your power
In the moment where you are all alone
As you wait for me... as you wait for me...
Sometimes, there's just nothing left to do, so you wait for me

When everybody, that you thought was your friend leaves you
I will never leave you...
I will come to you in the midst of your heartache
I will come to you in the midst of your pain
I will come to you in the midst of your lonleiness
I will come to you in the midst of your rejection

And breathe new life...
Breathe new life into you
Breathe new life into you

Stay and wait wait upon the lord
I will renew your strength
They will run and not get weary
They will walk and shall not faint

I never leave you...
So as you wait
And you wait on me...
As you wait on me

Give you wings like the eagles
New wings, new wings
New power that you never known
As you wait on me

Your not alone...
Breaking off rejection...
He's breaking off rejection...

Look beyond the window there
There's a sky above, there's an open air
Look beyond the window there
There's a sky above, there's open air
Just, look beyond the window there
There's a sky above, there's an open air
Just, look beyond the window there
There's a sky above, there's open air
Yeah, just look beyond the window there
There's a sky above, there's an open air

Don't be afraid...
Your not alone...
Your not alone...

I never leave you
I never leave you

Beyond the window~ my lyrics

Looking out
Somedays all I see is fog
Somedays clouds.......perhaps sun
Somedays rain or storms

Every season~ undeniably the same....

if I look deep enough inside
However still ~ ever  changing

I Have looked down
Nothing to pull forward for
i decided Its better for me to look up
The Heavens await me still
Prompting me to go forward

Beyond my window
I see and feel tears
I see and feel sadness
I wait for the calm
I pray for the direction
I wait for the answer

It will come
So long as I continue to look

I'm still traveling.......

Beyond the window

Another one I wrote. Don't recall if I shared but it revolves around my quit journey

NEW CHOICE

Where have I been
I thought I could say
I was just there
Yesterday

Where will I go
I cannot say
I’ve only this moment
My choice for today

Where am I now
Uncertainty……resides
Feelings of sorrow
That I try to hide

Its okay to live
In the moment I’m in’
Apart from comfortable feelings
Within

Accept where I am
Move forward I pray
Tomorrow beacons
New choices …new day.

Smoking is not an option for me. I no longer have a wishbone to quit smoking...I developed a backbone and I quit. When you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, you will quit smoking too.
