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 11/7/18

Beautiful, but a bit of sadness... But ultimately, hope, focusing on beauty to ease your mind. I wish I could write with beauty, it is so natural in your beautiful words, Heidi.

Yes, that's right Tim. My heart has been at too fast of heart rate lately too, so even more important to slow down and take it in . Thank you for comment. It is nice to see you :)

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.
