A smile that never fades

The pale yellow sky, reminds me of a smile that never fades From a greeting etched in memory, immune to words like cutting blades The tall emerald trees are drawn toward the layers of light A pillowed curtain for the baby blue skis, waiting to darken in the night I will hold onto the smile in a world full of escalation I will carry hope it will bring peace in dreams, without fabrication The light guides me through changes, only the seasons know A place I will probably be sitting later, writing about falling snow These reminders are the gifts, this creation never fails to give me They guide me through each stage of unsettling uncertainty As I am ready to close my eyes, yellow is turning to peach colored sky I let go of all the unknown and release myself from.asking why Because what I see in front of me is a miraculous formation of peace To be still in this moment, where hope will never cease Heidi Sands 9/19/24 (C)opyright

Heidi, I like the line, "The tall emerald trees are drawn toward the layers of light. I also like the sentiment of this poem, as it leads to the wonderful last two lines.
