Notes About The Poem

These photos are more clear, but somehow come up blurry, when

The Skies

This poem is inspired by the photos (sorry they upload blurry - when they are clear).  

**Also thank you to Sandy Weiss for the beautiful framing of them**

The skies hold for me, all my dreams I have within
Unfolding shades of color, like prizes of love to win
Yellow wings of clouds spread, flying above the trees 
Carrying all of my secret wishes in the wind with ease
Bright reflections from the water, shine with a glow
It doesn't matter right now, the things I don't know
What I do know is, I've looked above since I was young
Through laughter, tears and all that may have stung
Even with the troubles, that I may have in this day,
This special place in the sky, gives me all I need to say

Heidi, Your poem and photos never disappoint. The sting will go away, mostly. As will the laughter & tears. What's left is poetry. -Richard

Thank you Arturo. My sail has lost its strength in the last hour with numerous news stories I saw. I must get the sail up again :)...or should I saw the wind got knocked out of my sails for a bit.

Even blurry they are beautiful Heidi and your wonderful poem is anything but blurry. Crystal clear and filled with amazing visions.

Hi Chris. Thank you. It may be blurry, because I am copying and pasting it from my home page. I am not sure. (I am not good with tech things). I appreciate your kindness very much :)
