Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Merging

A river of light moves along the top of a dark mountain range
Beneath light silver clouds, floating in the sky this winter day
The cold air is still, as it freezes the snow just recently fallen
Leaving white tipped tree branches reaching outward in mid air
Over millions of snowflakes spread all over the frozen ground
Like millions of positive sparkling thoughts, waiting to be found
As the day moves forward, the silver clouds darken to gray
It will not be long before more snow will fall that is on the way
Another pristine layer of a blanket will be spread to see
Where the beauty of the sky, meets the ground in front of me

Heidi Sands

Judy Ball January 6, 2021 at 9:40 AM Beautiful Heidi. We lived 13yrs. in the NWT where the winter was long and cold and dark and many didn't care for it but they drug me out of there kicking and screaming. I could see the tundra from my kitchen window and the Northern Lights were so bright. I loved it up there. This reminds me of the wild beauty of the North. God Bless, JB Heidi Sands January 8, 2021 at 5:43 AM I enjoyed your comment Judy. Thank you for your input. I have learned to love winter here. There are beautiful sights in these mountains and I enjoy them every day. and stay warm with the woodstove too. Thank you ! :)
