Heidi Sands Poet Enclosed Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The Fire Inside

I saw tears in the sky
Before they fell
And made my eyes swell
Then, I wondered why

You would want me 
To feel this way
When reason decays
I just can't see

The anguish like a fire inside
Is not extinguished without
Closure, while ignoring shouts
Hidden places, having to hide

Some things burn forever
Lest mourning tears that freeze
Ruled by the decrees
Targeting connections to sever

Heidi Sands

Placed 2nd in The Fire Inside Contest.
