Heidi Sands Poet Sonnet

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
