Life Walks

I have walked empty roads in loneliness, where only a single bird cries. I have walked in an empty graveyard, where grief hovers as a smile dies. I have walked through lighter days while joy and laughter sing a song. These many miles brought lessons learned in the landscape all along. I have walked easily, yet other times challenged by some physical pain. All these walks in changing scenes with sun, snow and even heavy rain. I have walked as I have listened, watched, breathed and quietly prayed. For it is in these life ‘walks’, memories paved in the mind, have stayed. Heidi Sands 3/29/17

What a wonderful poetic journey you have allowed us to join you in this evening Heidi. I believe we all take our walks and learn from what we find. Some good things and not so good things. But if we walked and found your poetry, it would always be a good thing. :)
