Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Photo

When I take a scenic photo, it brings me directly into the moment
Everything else slips away like a cleaning rush of water arrived
No worries, no other thoughts, just stunning beauty in front of me
All with gratitude that I captured this momentary view to see

Heidi Sands
