Lighter side of things

The road is long, unexpected happenings I found the perfect place to live, not knowing the crisis I would endure The waves rolled in, The world spun around me As I literally fought for my life While I recover, I have many thoughts I don't focus on the disruption to my new peaceful place I am grateful for the timing, the lighter side of things - that this didn't happen where I was before - Heidi Sands 6/13/25

Given what you've been through, that you can even consider the 'lighter side of things' amazes me. ~ gw

Hello Heidi, There's always a place to find peace. Though often pain sticks around to show us we're still human. So much hope found from nature's beauty depicted in your poems. I hope there'll always be more birds, and mountains for you to discover there. And for all of us to discover here. -Richard
