Heidi Sands Poet Lay

Before It Froze - Lei

As the wind blew strong on the face
The head tipped downward, in this place

Lost in the fog, with pelting sleet
Would there be two tracks that will meet?

Then a touch of a fingertip,
Wiped the last tear drop from a drip

Before it froze with a heart closed
Love’s warmth cured the danger it posed
