Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

The Wind's Message

When the wind blew, I thought a storm was coming
But, it was just the wind
The leaves were turning inside out
Thin trees were swaying in a dance
Movement quickly engaging big things, little things
Whistling messages , almost howling
Mother Nature had a lot to say today
I watched, I listened and contemplated,
the weather changing all around me
Times I almost didn't survive, but I did
The sun always burst through shining again
If I were the wind, I would say...
Remember this on any given day

Heidi Sands

Hiya Sharma August 5, 2026 at 9:35 AM Dear Heidi, firstly it’s been such a long while! And it feels so good to be reading you today.. your poem is truly very heartfelt, somedays, they aren’t heavy with grief or burden, they are meant to be a source if catharsis, like a moment of pause nudging us to learn how to breathe once again and let go of anything that traps us… inspiring us.. to be like the wind, just as you’ve said here.. very meaningful and heart-touching, my beautiful poetess. Pleasure reading you, as always 🥹🥹🌹🍃 Congratulations on the wonderful honour of POTD ✨💫🧜‍♀️ Heidi Sands August 5, 2026 at 9:53 AM Thank yoiu so very much 🥰

Daniel Henry Rodgers August 4, 2026 at 9:41 AM Dear Heidi, Congrats on POTD. I love how you let the wind arrive first as a warning, then reveal itself as a messenger instead.
