Sara Kendrick Poet Sapphic stanza

Notes About The Poem

Heart Shaped Leaf

Sometimes fatigue comes with speed and little spills flare
Emotions of frustration like anger, so
Praying I ask God for His deliverance
Heart-shaped leaf appears    



Sometimes little things that keep happening over and over lead to negative emotions. Another spill in the kitchen, I ask God please give me patience, show me how to be able to keep flowing calmly and be patient. I looked up from the spill and in the kitchen window view was a heart-shaped leaf (morning glory) which said to me operate in love.

Jack Horne October 12, 2022 at 6:18 AM i love the ending to this - lovely Sara Kendrick October 12, 2022 at 7:03 AM Thank you, Jack. I had prayed and it seemed that God answered my prayer when I saw the heart-shaped leaf. Sometimes love gets stifled in the mist of distressful events of each day. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

Valsa George October 10, 2022 at 6:54 AM The message the heart shaped leaf has conveyed is the antidote to all negativity...'operate in love'! A very open write. Appreciate your honesty, dear Sara !

Sotto Poet October 8, 2022 at 1:01 PM Sara, I hope everything is going well. You know how we all used to act when we were young and energetic. Things change, therefore it's important to take the proper precautions to prevent spills and be safe at all times. My best wishes. Sara Kendrick October 8, 2022 at 1:31 PM Yes, Lasaad, we need to take the precautions. I have a grandson who lives with me who has a brain disease called Huntington's Disease or chorea. He is gradually developing abnormal movements and loss of control of muscles, hence more accidents mostly in the kitchen but sometimes spilled coffee all over the house, etc. Thanks for dropping by.
