Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Angel in the snow

Snow covered trees line the highway with white
I drive while seeking,  yet another new sight
Things in life come with a high price to pay
I tell myself often, I will find my way

A flock of birds fly in gray sky with freedom flapping wings
They know where they're going, any outcome, each one sings
I often find myself on a  slippery slope
I seek out my muse, ways with words to cope

Imagine falling like an angel in the snow...
There are those special things in childhood, we'll always know
How to make that angel, be that angel,  on a cold winter day
Memories are retained of lessons learned during play

I keep driving, passing the trees that make me think
on a highway full of thoughts with every blink
There is a span of things I know and many miles to travel
Just to know what I can let go of or otherwise unravel

I'll try to spread my arms like the angel in soft snow
Wrap my beliefs so they don't melt, holding onto what I know

Heidi Sands

Joseph P. DiMino December 15, 2024 at 8:45 PM "I often find myself on a slippery slope I seek out my muse, ways with words to cope" -- the Poetic way...love it! "I'll try to spread my arms like the angel in soft snow Wrap my beliefs so they don't melt," I know, if only to even slow down time for those extra precious moments to linger...often life seems little more than melt and evaporation. Sad. Heidi Sands December 16, 2024 at 4:40 AM Thank you for your input Joe. I appreciate it. I hope you have a nice day :)
