Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Doubts

Doubts can be planted like a seed
Growing within, for all that we need
Consistency falters, direction fades
The doubts take over in the shade
I saw the light shining high above
Bright as the earth glowing with love
So bright, I walked and couldn’t resist
To focus on the positive through the mist
In a garden spread out, waiting to grow
With shifting thoughts in wind that blows
Across the land, implemented in the mind
Helping me to focus on what to find
Things that work in life or what does not
To help the soul move on with what is sought
As there will always be tribulations to face
On any given day or at any found place
Doubts are only what we allow them to be
When we make the given choice not to see

Heidi Sands

Arturo Michael December 2, 2017 at 5:31 PM It has its purpose...but most of the times we find comfort in doubts for own protection...Whether rightly so or not...That where the danger sets in...Good advice in a poetry format...All the best Heidi Heidi Sands December 2, 2017 at 6:32 PM Interesting comment Arturo.

John Gondolf December 2, 2017 at 4:20 PM So true, Heidi, if we allow doubts to control our lives we would never try anything new and we would never accomplish anything. Nicely stated. John Heidi Sands December 2, 2017 at 4:42 PM Thank you John :)
