Single Player Band

I watched one thousand waves crash on the shore Echoing, howling, there is so much more I watched one thousand trees sway East to West I had fallen beneath them after doing my best I could still hear the bird calling, from where I said goodbye The bear on the mountain couldn't find me and wondered why There's so much to do, so many worries, no time to cry There's too much to look for when feeling lost, but I try A Daisy used to be enough to bring a smile And the frosted snow covered tree tops carried me a mile Shining in a glory from a hilltop that was mine To lose where I was grounded, I'm still trying to be fine For now, I'm just a wanderer, missing home and what I had Tossing smiles around, but admitting that I'm sad From moving water, to shining trees, all across the land I continue marching, like a single player band Heidi Sands 12/22/24 (C)opyright

Heidi, your poem is so sad, you have been through so much since the toxic devastation caused so much heartache. I'm so sorry. I can only send virtual hugs and prayers, but my thoughts have turned your way and I have remembered to pray for you as you have come to mind. I hope you will have a happy and healthy 2025. I hope things will get better. Hugs and prayers <3

Heidi, your beautiful yet plaintive words echo the range of life's experiences as you recognize the totality of life's emotions. Your final line recognizes your steadfastness in putting one foot in front of the other as pilgrim and "wanderer." This is lovely in spirit and words! As the old song says "Just keep walking" beautiful spirit. We will walk with you! Merry Christmas to you in this season of joy!

Normally, I love sad poems, but mine are mostly fiction. Your poem seems too real. You must find a haven to cheer up. Merry Christmas.
