Sadness Has a Way

Sadness has a way of showing with trees hanging low Broken branches from wind that was just too fierce One time, spearing a branch straight up into my lawn Sadness has a way of slowing down the gurgling brook Even consuming it with stagnant, murky water at times Sadness has a way of returning with gray overcast skies Leaving a blank canvas sitting still without any color... --- But trees do heal --- --- Brooks sing again --- --- And the sun returns --- Heidi Sands 7/29/17
