Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Even Under the Cloud Cover

Wrenching pain, hot pavement, warm tears flowing
                        ---- Steaming ----
Not from being unloved or desires not being met
Just very simple little wooden doors slammed shut
                       --- Locking the heart ---
Truth not given, oh no, that just flies away so easily
Fast as a car racing on a track in a speeding minute
Vultures swirl, but wait until the last second to leave
                          --- Their feast ---
They think they know it all, just how fast you're driving
In the approach of only a simple sight you wanted to see
                      --- But they are wrong ---
Assumptions by others whirl in the silence unspoken
Their choice to protect what they think is helpful in a way
                            --- Wrong again ---
All it takes is a little effort, the simple choice to speak, to ask,
To communicate under the skies, even with the cloud cover

Dale Gregory Cozart July 19, 2017 at 4:51 PM I think you speak very plainly to others' jumping to conclusions. In other words, accepting what they are told without ever looking for the truth themselves. You are right. Heidi Sands July 19, 2017 at 4:54 PM Thank you Dale :) I appreciate your feedback!
