Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

These Are the Days

These are the days, yet so many are gone
Filled with sorrow, like an engraved image
Of a broken winged bird on the lawn
Days consumed by dark, when light was rare
My heart like a boulder weighing me down
Past memories lurking, in darkness, glare
With no resolution, a ghost through the years
Closure remains elusive, like a hawk that stares
Continuously, I try to lift myself from the ground
To release the sorrow, circulating all around
Trying to come to terms with the answers I found
Through the years of time, from all of those days
So I can take the right turns, in this life of a maze
