Just One Glance

I threw my thoughts into the brook, watched them float away Too many things to figure out all in one day Jumping rope through time, grasping the unknown The unexpected often happens, time has shown I’ve spent much of my life trying to survive Fighting many types of things, just to stay alive It has become something conditional for me Just as the outcomes thereafter, are to see Sometimes, I just want a hand to hold As thoughts crumpled on paper, unfold Reminding me there is so much more To reach again for the next open door The brook took my thoughts, gurgling laughter to hear Then, I tossed in a wish for you to be near The trees started swaying in a breeze filled dance The light on water changed, in just one glance I could hear you and feel you, the closer you were Approaching me and calming my feelings that stir Somehow, everything would soon be alright As the brook took my thoughts into the night Heidi Sands 4/6/18
