Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Puzzle

Pine needles scatter across the grass
Mushrooms show their faces too
The trees applause with their colors,
in the cool, refreshing evening air
My mind can think a million thoughts
      - but what I see grounds me  -
Pieces of nature create a puzzle
That shows off a beautiful scene
There is no reason to figure things out,
or to find a way to defend myself
Because, it is all here looking at me
In my purpose, no-one has to see

Quoth Theraven October 3, 2026 at 8:23 PM Hello Heidi, Very hauntingly beautiful write. Finding a place in nature means never being truly alone. Putting the puzzle together, well that's for each of us to discover. I hope this day is good to you. -Richard

CayCay Godwin October 3, 2026 at 7:52 PM Thought provoking lines and ideal perspective, I believe. This poem was a joy to read, it has a unique flavor to it, if you will. (trees applause or applaud.) Poetry hugs ... CayCay
