Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Where I roam

The winter path, footprints in snow
Impressions by those who may know
Cold outside doesn't reach the heart,
for those who choose from birth to start...  
a  purposeful life to fulfill 
caring deeply, with inner will 
Beyond the trees lies open  land...
Plentiful space to understand
I see two woodpeckers on a tree,
hammering the bark before me
Their purpose a daily mission
A door to home with ambition
A nice place to settle safely
In their cozy hole in a tree
I walked this winter path back home
Holding freedom from where I roam
