*Inspired by photo* From up above I see Not what the clouds hide But delicate blades of grass Like my fragile emotions Hanging over the cliff Waiting to be acknowledged With a soft touch Soft as the baby blue skies Seen in the distance Transformed into strength Of emerging mountain peaks Through the fog of thoughts That led me to this place To find the answers High enough to see for miles That I climbed to find within Heidi Sands 1/25/18 Placed 1st in the standard contest 65.

Congratulations, and excellent post, Heidi. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. I am very proud of you. The descriptive excellence is lovely and sends terrific images. The theme of "Finding Within," stands out, and the tone moves the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and God's richest grace and blessings to you always. –Professor, Ambassador, Dr. Joseph S. Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!

Dear Madam, It is indeed a philosophical and thought-provoking poem. A writer remarked like this: "The important thing in poetry isn't whether or not it rhymes, it's whether or not it resonates." I wish to know your view on the above remark. "Manian"
