And So It Is

And so it is… When the trees don’t speak, barely a whisper in the wind, Wet petals stuck motionless to the ground as if pinned When there is no language to read in the sky, Even with all the clouds passing by And so it is… When a bird must show you what is wrong Bellowing out its loud bird song Yet, to be grateful for… After all, we cannot ask for more When something isn’t heard, something else will replace it When something isn’t seen, there’s all the more pieces to see fit And so it is…. I hear, I hear, I see and feel for you Everlasting feelings from my soul, reel with every view And what I miss along the way Does not matter in my heart today tomorrow, or yesterday…. And so it is… Heidi Sands 6/17/21 Placed among multiple 1st placements in All Yours (Jun17) Poetry Contest.

And so it is... A beautiful poem, seeking for meaning when it is fulfilled against absence. I love you imagery.

Heidi, I am struck by the gravitas in your words. The attempt to describe the indescribably or understand the incomprehensible. Beautifully stated and profound throughout. "Everlasting feelings from my soul, reel with every view". Congrats on your win and top of the Best New Poem list.

I enjoy all poetry relating to nature and so it is and hope in the future not writing so it was. Tis a good feeling when people write of appreciation. People don't realise how much nature is suffering
