I Do Not Cower

Gray covered skies, tints of light Waiting, trying, to do what is right A storm of thoughts in my mind Gets even worse with what I find There’s a stagnant air outside I thought I heard an angel that cried There’s a stillness around today That indicates more is on the way Minutes pass slowly, birds chirping count Many things suddenly mount Finding answers, that were not known Flying places, I haven’t flown Gray covered skies, tints of light Remain the same each hour I look at the color of the flower, Blooming through a rain shower - I do not cower - Heidi Sands 6/1/22

Your 'storms of thought' come to you seemingly so naturally, Heidi. For others like me, they are known as 'brainstorms,' requiring tons of exertion. ~ Whew, Gershon '

Nature is indeed a soul reflection. What mankind holds on the inside manifests in the outside world of material substance. Our earth is a reflection of ourselves. "Gray covered skies, tints of light Remain the same each hour I look at the color of the flower, Blooming through a rain shower - I do not cower -" Splendid poetry and truth!
