Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

A Breath Away

A breath away

The wind blew leaves by my window,
Scattered all over the soggy ground.
Cold rain quietly fell upon them,
Bare trees stood without a sound.
The dark skies and gray mountains
Make it difficult for one to think.
It feels like grief is hovering,
To spill the tears with a wink.
The heart has had enough of this.
Dark sky reminders of those I miss.
I sit, I reach, for the bright sunshine
That wrapped around me the other day.
Hidden in the layers of memories 
To choose for the mind to play.
Feeling the warmth, the touch of your hand.
Is only a breath away from me, I stand. 
To do what you know I can do best.
Move forward in light of the rest.

Heidi Sands

Rhoda Galgiani October 28, 2016 at 10:42 PM Emotions coming to height! 'Bear trees' I believe should be 'Bare trees'! Bear is a BEAR, you know in the woods...LOL rg Rhoda Galgiani October 29, 2016 at 3:51 PM Thanks Daniel for the tip on the soupmail. I most certainly will consider that next time...rg Rhoda Galgiani October 29, 2016 at 3:49 PM I don't know how many times I have done the same thing! I always appreciate the reader being a 'spell checker'...LOL rg Heidi Sands October 29, 2016 at 7:47 AM Got it! Yes, I did mean 'Bare'. Maybe I was thinking whether the bear were going to come around with the new bird seed I put out for the birds ...lol Daniel Turner October 29, 2016 at 6:09 AM Soupmail is the thoughtful way for corrections:)
