Heidi Sands Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Leaves After Rainfall

The damp leaves fluttered after rainfall
In a light breeze still passing through
The clouds dispersed and sky turned blue
With cool air under pines standing tall

For a moment, everything was alright
Peaceful as the happy birds flying by
A refreshing moment, nothing to try
Just rest, with clear refreshing insight

My heartbeat calmed, by sun shining through
Reaching the window to my soul inside
I was able to let my steady thoughts glide
As my eyes surveyed such a beautiful view

Lost serenity returned, on the tail of a breeze
That settled me within, as it touched my face
I was grounded in a realm of a special place
Unlocked for now, with nature’s valuable keys

Heidi Sands
