Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Calmness

Calm are the still leaves, waiting to fall
Water without ripples, reflections complete
The quiet air waits under the pines
Soft needles laying in place on the ground
On an empty path leading to solitude
To venture in trust without words
Beneath skies, changing color
To sip the fresh air with each slow breath
Heartbeats in unison with footsteps
Into the wide open meadow
Where not a blade of grass moves
Only the soul is stirred with inspiration
Sparked by the calmness within

Your nature imagery and various references to colors, the skies, heartbeats, etc, are perfectly woven into the heart of your poem. And the closing final two verses say it all!! Calmness is always the place to be!! Most Excellent and A FAVE for me!! Best Wishes, Gary Heidi Sands November 21, 2018 at 7:23 AM Wow thank you Gary.
