Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

A Picture

Here you are again…
Your photo staring at me
Unexpected to find
Making me wish, I was blind
A rumble of feelings
Stir like loud thunder
Shaking my soul
From broken roots, of family ties
The memories crash,
Like shattered glass
Piercing my soul
As I plod through the past
Into the present moment
All the while, the picture haunts
Like a ghost that just returned
But in reality, never leaves
