Waves of Truth

I have always been one to look at truth
Regardless of how bad it may be
Lately, waves of truth come over me
I take notes because my brain is full
I am able to look at the big picture at once
Now, the facts pile up like mountains of sand
But, each grain is significant and alarming
More and more people speak out each day
It cannot be ignored, if I care about life
If I care about all those who I love
If I care about humanity and nature!
I cannot and will not ignore the truth
This is me and nothing will change me
Clearly, the waves will keep on coming
I will have to learn to ride these waves
And do my best to survive and help others
The lies are worse and the denial is hard
But, I keep on surfing through time I have left
And I don’t forget to look at the beautiful ocean!

Joe Maverick October 5, 2021 at 1:55 PM Hmm Heidi, Your mindset seems similar to my Own, you know one grain of sand in an oyster Creates a pearl, pearls are synonymous With Wisdom, I see two people at least have taken Grains; maybe more to share so I await more Pearls it's good to value the world we see yet Keep in mind God is creating universes as I Write so he has no fear of losing a planet He Creates awaiting reality's and present' Heidi Sands October 5, 2021 at 2:16 PM Thank you for your visit and understanding .
