Shelter

She wandered along the path Picking white daisies on her way Following the trail of clouds above The sun spread words she couldn’t say Her heart full of love, no-where to go Walking beside the open fields to see Pieces of nature blowing in the wind With miles ahead where she could flee There, maybe her dreams waited It seems she had searched so long Keeping her own company Always humming her faithful song It was as if the friendly birds knew Looking at her with curiosity She only wanted to shelter herself From a world filled with animosity Heidi Sands 8/23/20

Beautiful and very poignant piece my friend. Reminds me of a beautiful female coyote that had been shunned by the pack. Her mate killed on the highway she tried desperately to make friends with my German Shepherd. I wished I could bring her home with me but I feared she may kill my cats. I named her Lady Coyote and will never forget her. God Bless, JB

Exactly how I felt at age 12; were it not for sex, I would have happily disappeared in the mountains. Aloha! Rico
