Nourishment

Shades of blue spread across the sky The sun shines over the mountains The lake reflects colors all around A clear, cool day, clears my mind I am grateful to be here to see this So many times, I could have been stopped There were often minutes, so close to death I try to make the best of the time I have It's not an hourglass I can keep flipping over But, the importance for me is in the sand that flows Every day, I try to find a grain of beauty somewhere No matter what is happening in life... There will always be pain, times of anger, A spectrum of emotions from within There is no perfect happiness or always being fine There will always be tears for life's hardships Yet, all tears are healing like nourishing rain So let the rain nourish and beauty flourish You are part of it, just as I am Clarity in life like these clear blue skies, exist Strength comes from within the one who cries I smile, I cry, I am still and I dance... and the nourishment becomes my music Heidi Sands 10/8/24 (C)opyright
