The Road of Writing

When the road is rough along the way Writing leads us to speak and to feel A place to be free with words on display A place to connect with what is real Where the heart can open with a pen Writing leads us to speak and to feel A sacred place to remember when Joys of life come from a simple turn Where the heart can open with a pen Ink sharing the lessons, all can learn Writing heals, reaches across the miles Joys of life come from a simple turn That brings about change and many smiles Freedom is found on every page Writing heals, reaches across the miles It’s a gentle way of war to wage When the road is rough, along the way Freedom is found on every page A place to be free with words on display Heidi Sands 1/15/23

Writing has certainly been "liberating" for me, Heidi. I can...and do...write about things I would have great difficulty talking about. An excellent read.

A lovely poem, Heidi, and one that we all can relate to... I sometimes wonder what this world would be like if everyone were a poet...

'where the heart can open with a pen' -- an elegant turn of phrase, Heidi. Lovely! ~ Gershon
