Questions In Color

the sky turns pale blue above horizon brushed pink fallen moments shine I am struck by what I think where did the precious time go? Heidi Sands 8/31/22 Placed 3rd in the Brian Strand Premiere Choice Poetry Contest.

Great piece, Heidi. Why is it, I wonder, that it doesn't seem "precious" at all when you think you have all the time in the world? But, boy! I sure ask myself that question a lot these days.
