Restless


Yesterday mother nature was restless, strong winds blew
Kind of like my restless heart, sitting alone, waiting for you
Overnight's dreams calmed me like a soft blown breeze
Today is settled and quiet, with beams of sun on snow through the trees
I am not one to know the timing of greetings or goodbyes
On these rolling hills through life, with silent, distant, cries
For this, for that, for all that ensues,
After those restless moments when we are gifted to choose

You have powerfully equated nature's restlessness with your own. Hope, it won't last long. May peace and quiet descend down to you. A beautifully rhyming poem, dear Heidi!

Dear Heidi, your poem beautifully captures the ebb and flow of emotions intertwined with the rhythm of nature. Wonderful imagery of strong winds and settled quietness mirrors the fluctuations of the heart, waiting and yearning. A poignant sense of longing and reflection shows us the restless journey through life's ups and downs. A heartfelt piece. - Blessings, Daniel
