Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

In The Fog

Tears rolled down my face
One for every person lost
You can't change that evil exists
Whether you cry, scream, or shake fists
Oh, how the truth can be so cold
I shiver wondering when love broke,
into all these pieces around me
Words are powerful, but can be so empty,
when scrolled by the hand of a hollow person
Just as a lighthouse casts a beam of warning,
sometimes it still isn't seen in the fog

Darlene De Beaulieu February 10, 2026 at 10:23 AM Hello Heidi, Yes i agree love can break making a person sad. Crying does help to relieve the stress we feel. screaming helps to relieve the tension. yes truth can be cold.
