Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Pillows in the sky

Pillows in the sky
float in the breath of the wind
slowly moving,  soft flying views
Time to rest in the clear space of mind
Pillows in the sky
waiting, shining, showing
all the special things to find
Clouds like these pillows, in the sky
are not the only reason
for rest and for dreams
It's all more than it seems

Heidi Sands
