LET IT SNOW

JEN A.

Hexagonal crystals

Spark from thin air

In a twinkling

As intricate and unique

As you and you

Cast across the night sky

Like I

Ching coins

From the hand of our

Mother

The tiny jewels fall

With no loss of chastity

Singly, slowly, softly

Attracted by our gravity

Of dissonance and lament

To unite as one

Broadcasting a wall of

Healing silence

In a wrap of hushed serenity A

warm layered blanket of P

eace and calm

Throughout the land

THAT BEAUTIFUL SMILE

JEN A.

It’s been almost a year, hasn’t it

Since I last saw you

You looked up at me with that

Bright joyful smile of yours

And your eyes were twinkling

Catching every bit of light in the room

I can still see you now

I keep the image in my mental file

To pull up on grey dreary days I

t reminds me of how life used to be

Surrounded by friends, family, fun

With all the bells and whistles

Days of wild abandon

When we hugged and laughed and

Reveled in being close

What I wouldn’t give to hug you now

I was so sorry to hear about your mother

She gave you that beautiful smile, you know

And she’d want you to carry it on

Carry it on, precious, carry it on

SET ME FREE LORD!!!

ANGELA H.

I sat behind these 4 walls

Not knowing what to do

Asking God to help me stay strong and true I let this world take control of me and I want to let go

Show me what I need to see I want to be free

I’m sorry for whatever I’ve done wrong, Please help me to hold on.

I’ve made a lot of wrong choices in life, Now it’s time to end that strife.

Set me free Lord I know you can.

I’m holding on to both your hands.
