Still, Like the Rocks

The river’s water tumbled over the rocks Nature’s voice roaring, after the storm As a spray of mist splashed in the air I listen to its language and breathe fresh air Watching the waves, I stand sturdy like the rocks Near waterfalls of beauty spilling from the storm Powerful reminders, brought to me by the storm Now peace is in the calmness of the air The air is still, like these strong river rocks I am still with the rocks too, for the next storm, with each breath of air Heidi Sands 2/22/19 Placed 2nd in the Tritina for Messina Poetry Contest.
