Poetry
Together
It is our turn now, to make this change We stand by each other No one goes ahead, nor behind We are all equals, united, and bound so tight We hold hands, and step forward Invincible, victorious, and confident we sing the prayer Every note so right, and so precise Every hum, exact, as we

Letter to the Known
I received the most curious letter in the mail last Wednesday. It was apparently sent to a random address, and landed by chance in my mailbox…. To whomever the die is cast upon: I know not your identity, nor your character, But I know that which defines you, For I know that you, as one

The Great Wind
I fly high in the sky And run low to the ground I kiss children’s faces Without making a sound I climb under fences And jump over sparkling streams I box with balloons And rustle the leaves I sneak through alleyways And sprawling backyards I’m in a big game And I play my best card
