Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Through the Motions

I am going through the motions
In a fog all around -
Chores, errands, work pursuits
Yellow leaves are falling like confetti
As my mind spins, twirling thoughts
Trauma will do this -
As it takes effort to focus on things
I am going through the motions
My heart is blowing in the wind
Working on things until the next wave of tears
Praying for healing, trying to absorb the shock
Life can throw things like a straight on pitch!
Hitting you at the plate, where you were grounded
It is the way it is, so enjoy every precious moment
               - Before it is too late -
Tell those you love, your love
Give a smile to those who bring happiness
Show gratitude for all that people give
Laugh with them, put them first and unite
We are different, but the same - we are equal!
