AS THE FLAG UNFURLS

AS THE FLAG UNFURLS*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the flag unfurls,
its colors bold against the waking sky—
each star, each stripe a testament
to pride, honor, and patriotism.

pride, not a shield, is a bridge,
linking the stories of brave soldiers,
those who once fought in battlefields, 
their shadows etched in the soil,
their courage a whisper in the rustling leaves.

honor is a compass, etched in

Through the star-veiled veil of night where mystery unfurls its cloak

Through the star-veiled veil of night where mystery unfurls its cloak,
The eyes of women, beacons flickering on the crests of the cosmic vastness,
I lose myself in their stellar abyss, borne on the wings of veiled darkness,
Like a pilgrim caught in a net of eternal lights, drifting endlessly.
They, eyes in astral flight, are keepers of the

As Morning Light Unfurls

"Up at dawn, the dewy freshness of the hour, the morning rapture of the birds, the daily miracle of sunrise, set her heart in tune, and gave her Nature's most healing balm."                     ~ Louisa May

Her Muse Unfurls Heart Buds

Her poems are simple, their rhythm is grand,
out of bland ordinary they all stand.
Dexterous in neat word art, 
her muse unfurls buds of heart,
flowers bloom in verses of Heidi Sands.

Autumn Unfurls

Winds whirl
          Leaves swirl

          Crisp twirls
          Fall's pearls

Good Old Days: As Life Unfurls

I remember the good old days of what now seems so long ago
The year was twenty nineteen. What parties we used to throw
Family and friends gathered for weddings and festive holidays
Smiles were seen before flashes of illness and dissension blazed

Parents went off to work; their children educated at school
Life was much easier then; and people

Our Famous Flag Unfurls

Faint drums in distances rolling
brave tales before us unfolding.
Over proud battle cries it will fly
saving grand dreams that shall not die.
Bloody sands seen at Normandy
attests mankind's will to be free.
The daring who marched as one
arm in arm till the war was won!

From space we see a tiny blue ball
seems not so important after all.
Stare straight

A Rosebud Unfurls

A rosebud unfurls
  Attracting pollinators
Bees and hummingbirds

A Leaf Unfurls

See all of the buds upon the trees
watch closely as slowly one unfurls
each tiny weeny leaf stretching out
one by one peeling away from the buds

Turning their faces up to the sun
some sticky buds much longer taking 
all sorts of shapes and different sizes
as they grow and cast their dappled shade

On the tender plants hiding below
shade

The Prettiest Rose Unfurls

Just as each tender petal
Of the prettiest rose unfurls
Its fragrant silken form
I hold in my mind
A memory or thought
Of each tender moment
I have graciously shared with you

Just as each tender petal
Of the prettiest rose unfurls
Releasing its natural beauty
To an awe-inspired world
I hold in my heart
A love that grows evermore deeply
Despite thinking I’ve given my all

Just
