Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

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

Gershon Wolf June 2, 2022 at 8:05 PM 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 ' Heidi Sands June 3, 2022 at 5:45 AM Thank you Gershon :)

Harry Horsman June 2, 2022 at 1:31 AM Keep putting to paper those thoughts in your head Heidi, amazing things you have in there. Heidi Sands June 2, 2022 at 4:33 AM That is a very kind thing to say Harry. Thank you :)

Joseph P. DiMino June 1, 2022 at 1:48 PM 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! Heidi Sands June 1, 2022 at 4:00 PM Thank you very much Joe. I appreciate your kind feedback :)
