The Day's End
by Anna Forbes
Stubborn eyelids drop
The rumpled quilt, my magic rug,
Flies me to my dreams.
Shadows
by Allegra Weaver
Regrets, like a flock
Of errant, tawdry blackbirds
Hang over my head.
Letting Go
by Cheryl Hutchison
Tight is my fist
These knuckles are white
Clinging to the dearest things of all
Why must it be so hard
to believe you?
Is it difficult?
I mean your love,
It wraps around me
in a sheet of silk.
Your joy is a
bike ride down hill
in summer dusk with a hint of rain
Surrender is complete
One finger uncurls
Like a rose in the sun
My hand opens to you
A white dove then flies
Away free forever in your sky
Cynicism
by Jared Thornton
The meek and the weak; the big and the strong
Good and Evil; Right and Wrong
Have been debated for so long
The reason why many have gone
Out of control and out of line,
Act just like they've lost their minds
Irrational actions all the time
Never using thoughts divine
Trusting in the heat they pack
And the dividends they stack
The weight of the world is on their back
And true hope is what they lack…
