A Cloak of Sunset Fire
Don't wait too long to look
Witness Mother Nature’s touch
As She rests a cloak of sunset fire on the grass
Beautiful shades of orange and red
A dazzling show in just a flash
~
When you know that She is coming
You mustn’t take too long to look
Because such beauty won’t last forever
There is no time for second looks
~
To see a sight that is so vibrant
One might pinch themselves
And think that they are dreaming
Of worlds beyond ourselves
~
But the clock is ticking
For sadly nothing lasts
What was once so bold with colors strong
Is fading rather fast
~
The display is quiet now
With bright golds turning brown
The sun has set for another day
And the moon rises as Her crown

Pieces of Me ~ Poems by Heidi
In 2022, I came across a bin of my journals spanning many years. It was then that I realized I haven’t told people I enjoy writing or shared my work publicly. I decided to start.
