Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Whirlwind

Life becomes a whirlwind
As I feel like the copper colored leaves
All tumbling through the air
I reach up to the vast blue skies,
Still smiling at the sun for being here today
Wishing for relaxing time or just to run and play
Where all is quiet and I am free
My heart wants to go faster than me
So, I try to slow down the beat with images
Of the sprawling white clouds above the hill
Those waiting to capture orange and pink colors
Of the sunset through the trees, for me to see
So then, my mind will be at ease

Heidi Sands

Mystic Rose Rose November 8, 2018 at 11:44 AM When you feel the need to slow down the best way is to look up to the skies and think of the angels how softly they sit and wait for our attention, nice one Heidi, have a great day.
