The Best Is Still Seen

Mustard colored ferns scattered on the hill Scarlet leaves on branches hang over still Green trees topped with color, passing by I left questions behind, no wonders why Things in life are not always right in place I accept what is right in front of my face A longing will stir, for things I have lost Sometimes returning like a fallen frost But even frost has beauty in the chill Just as the memories, when I stand still In the gratitude, for all that I shared The warmth remains, from times you cared There will always be colors and contrast For the best is still seen in all that lasts Heidi Sands 9/19/17 Placed 1st in the Standard Contest 165. Any form, any theme.

Heidi, 'There will always be colors and contrast For the best is still seen in all that lasts' This Sonnet's style and mood, suits you well. Always watch for those special memories pressed between pages of frost. -Richard
