Lost In a Melody

Grass is underneath my bare feet Soft blades touching toes Vast sky above is like an ocean White clouds of ships pass by Others stretch like sails to be seen All different sizes, changing The bird keeps on singing Singing all day in the woods Hidden in blankets of branches A warbling melody is heard And when I walk trying to see it, It is heard from another place Then, I stand still in the middle Of a melody that circles around me It carries on and on through the air Beyond every thought I have An unreachable, endless song With each breath of my life in the center Heidi Sands 7/31/19
