My Authentic Place

Writing is my survival I write to survive havoc life brings I write to express my love And to capture nature, as the bird sings I write to inspire others if I can To show what I’ve learned In this long life span Writing is my survival To express pain, dripped tears on pages To release inner turmoil So that it won’t turn to anger that rages Writing is my survival Scribbled words, to stay in the moment Of a life that can go so fast Trying to enjoy a moment well spent I try to spread the beauty I see I try to share what I feel It all comes from within My authentic place, to be real Heidi Sands 12/17/18
