Sheri Lin Hayes Poems

There she was in my backyard. My garden became her own
I thought she was there by herself, but she couldn’t have been alone…
I stood there in amazement, surprised by what I’d seen
This guiltless youth was dancing beneath my maple tree…
...

You know the roads I speak of
Of regret, heartache, and tears
The slope that keeps on heightening
Leaving the ending nowhere near
...

Have you ever felt trapped inside of your skin?
Have a desire to be free, or to be someone new?
Knowing most of your energy and time are often spent
Living for someone other than 'You”.
...

It’s been a while since we talked,
Or took a walk together
I remember when you’d take my hand,
and lead me to many places.
