Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Sandy's Island

*Poem inspired by a photo from Sandy's Island.

Golden skies are never too far
Above ocean waves and a sand bar
The lone bird flying free,
Is now calling out to me
To reach higher, in this day
To find what I need, on my way
The sprawl of gray in the sunshine
Never looked so soft, dreams are mine
This island holds me safe in this place
What my eyes see, my writings trace

Jennifer Proxenos January 21, 2022 at 12:21 PM Hi Heidi another Gem from your golden pen. Love the ocean but has never drawn me - too many drownings in our Indian Ocean really treacherous and on the West The Atlantic extremely cold. Awesome poem hugs blessings Jennifer. Heidi Sands January 21, 2022 at 1:04 PM Thank you very much Jennifer. I appreciate your kind comments. Hugs :)

Rico Leffanta January 21, 2022 at 10:38 AM Women seem to have a special connection to the ocean, yet the love to sit and listen to it, to watch the waves roll in, rather than run and play in the surf. Why is that? Rico Leffanta January 22, 2022 at 10:20 AM Portugese Man of War . . . Heidi Sands January 21, 2022 at 11:26 AM Lol oh, I love to run and play in the surf ! However , I did get stung by fluorescent blue jelly fish at a beach in Kawaii once ! . Thank you for your visit Rico . :)
