A Tangled Mind

A tangled mind, fighting for truth Lies and misconception blurs vision Frustration brews in this inner pot Wishing for clarity to endure, for it to reign Because, this is what it takes to survive Screams of cover-ups, hiding facts, Deafen me to the point of seeking silence I grasp at nature for simple reprieve In this gift of creation, we are granted I write words to get by, as I choose Scribbled in notebooks, that I gather My voice is written so I can sustain Whether I stand alone or not Creativity is a gift to be grateful for Untangling my mind, in the toughest of times Heidi Sands 3/8/20

"Creativity is a gift to be grateful for / Untangling my mind, in the toughest of times" - so true, poetess. Thank you for this poignant reminder ~ John
