Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

The World Was Ours

Years ago, we sat at the picnic table, near the beach
Our lives came together, as we talked for hours
An understanding bloomed from dark things we knew
A bright connection began with immediate strength
    - In that time, it seemed the world was ours  -
We flew from there, wings flapping, a team in flight
Until, you were suddenly taken out of the sky
            -   And I fell at your grave   -

Carolyn Devonshire June 12, 2018 at 5:48 PM A Fave for me too, Heidi. You reminded me of how I felt when I lost my husband. Suddenly, you fly solo and seem to have lost that sense of direction you had earlier. Beautiful! Hugs, Carolyn Heidi Sands June 12, 2018 at 5:52 PM I am sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. Yes, it is a drastic change in life. I remember at first, I felt like my strength died too. Take care. Thank you for your kindness :)
