All These Years

Calm comes with still waters bringing me reflective memories of you Those visions filled with laughter to erase the pain of sudden deep loss When I never tossed the stone, yet it sank so deeply down, out of sight Calm is the quiet evening filled with the last birds singing goodnight Hidden in this tranquil circling of mountains, hugging the setting sun All this, just in time for me to dream of you once again, once again Calm is the open peaceful field that I remember running through, Holding hands in the tall blades of grass, blowing in soft moving waves I still feel your hand and I feel the warmth of the serene golden hue Shining upon me, after all of these years living on earth without you Heidi Sands 5/12/21

Memories are kept in one's heart forever, they can never be erased as the mind also remembers. I truly enjoyed what you wrote above my friend. Peace and calm be with you always. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Heidi, A dear heart coming into focus. Words I would see happier, though they belong only to you. The ripples go on and on. -Richard
