Anything Left Pure

I try to avoid the pending pain
It's impossible, like trying to stop rain
Issues surround me everywhere
Creating a harsh reality of fear
It's not about not having faith inside
It's just a trap with no-where to hide
A place where answers can't be found
A place with lack of nature around
Some changes never experienced before
At the same time standing on a  falling floor
Health falters, striking poorly any given day
Plodding forward, multi-tasking is the only way
My courage is in what I can try to cure
My love will grow from anything left pure

Heidi  Sands

John Watt Date: 6/5/2023 12:21:00 PM Heidi, I think the strength of this poem is in your honesty and vulnerability as dreams and realities combine. Wonderfully stated; I love the line "standing on a falling floor". Anyone who has felt like they are in a free fall with no real assurance of the future can totally relate. The final line is a striking and beautiful synopsis of a life of overcoming adversity. I applaud your courage and your sharing the struggle in poetry. Congrats on POTD ~ John Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 6/5/2023 1:29:00 PM Thank you for such a nice comment John. It makes a positive difference reading it. I appreciate your input. :)

Jim Slaughter Date: 6/5/2023 10:54:00 AM I love the next-to-last line, Heidi. We can't "cure" everything that goes wrong in our lives, we can only do the best we can for as long as we can. I hope your "courage" will see you through your present trials and tribulations. Maybe getting POTD will help a little. Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 6/5/2023 11:01:00 AM Thank you Jim. I appreciate your kind , understanding, comment :)

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/5/2023 10:10:00 AM Sounds like you're under siege, Heidi. Perhaps saying 'Help!' will help. Many others want to do good by helping, esp. when they have an address for their help, I think... Congrats on POTD Login to Reply Heidi Sands Date: 6/5/2023 10:14:00 AM Thank you for your kind comment Gershon. I appreciate it :)
