Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Wings of Wisdom

Wings of Wisdom
- there is no life without pain -

On all these roads we travel
with free will to choose each turn
There is no avoiding pain
Heartache, betrayal or deep loss

The key is to keep on moving
Never letting go of our beliefs
Releasing tears, yearning to fall
Not letting ourselves fall too deep

In every waking moment upon us,
opportunities shine from shadows
Simple things to see all around us
Calling out for us to notice

To fill the darkness with light
To mend the hurt into joy...

With eyes wide open, we can look
Capture views from this pure creation
There is so much we have been granted
Oh, so much to be grateful for

There is no life without pain
Healing brings strength to get us through...

If it weren't for the darkness,
the light wouldn't be so bright
If it weren't for our perseverence,
we'd be stuck in the ongoing plight

Life does not promise all laughter and smiles
Lessons are derived from moments of hardship
Blessed are those who keep on going
To find the joy and love, waiting revival
         - on the wings of wisdom -
In the calm water, where the storms once stirred
