Heidi Sands Poet Terzanelle

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

Jim Slaughter January 24, 2023 at 1:14 PM 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. Heidi Sands January 24, 2023 at 1:20 PM Thank you very much Jim :)
