On the Shore

You found me stranded on the shore
Reached out your hand to show me more
Your touch lifted me, out to sea
Taken by serendipity
A new smile lit flame to a wick
Light in banks of fog, densely thick
Currents moved with inspiration
As I embraced, each sensation
From then on, through storm’s wind and rain
An anchor helped me to sustain
Emotions brought color to sky
With steady mind and soul to fly

Heidi Sands

A spiritual piece in one light but also this restores my respect for mankind. I've had a great day today and it's all because people can be so nice sometimes. God is good and God's children sometimes imitate Him. Fine write, Heidi.
