To Walk This Earth By Jaden How

invisible strings tie us together— strangers, friends, lovers, mothers— oh, to wonder.  we all stumble, twist, and fall, dance, shake, bend, and break, until dawn calls.  laugh and sing, child, step forth, witness— walk this Earth; your presence, yours to keep.

As the sun sets beams of sun kiss  every molecule of earth  as light fades into the afterglow Slow, soft whispers  are carried by the breeze  the sky is sprayed   with majestic shades of red and orange  I watch the sunset here by the river   being on the seventh cloud

Perspective by Jessica Trejis

Would I be forgiven  if I lay with my cheek  pressed flat against the bosom  of the grass  sparkling  with last night’s rain that came  in startling sheets  as heavy  as the shame, wrapped  around my heart in threads  woven  out of calculated missteps  Would I awaken  as fresh and

Red Waves by Julia Kajari

Listen:  Can you hear the ocean washing away the tide? How the waves make different sounds?  I stop.  I thought you had turned away  but in fact you got washed away  far in the deep blue sky.  Wait.  I look closer to see the sky is actually green a really

Blue Haired Girl by Hannah Macza

I have a terrible, nasty habit of needing control. Some might call it an obsession or even a disorder. My therapist Dr. Suzuki has gone as far as calling it an addiction. We sit in zen-like office filled of plants. He is trained in Internal Family Systems therapy and is
