Warm Dreams by Sandra Henry

Warm Dreams

As I close my heavy eyes
Your words dance
Throughout the night sky
As bright and beautiful
As the nearest star
Bringing sweet and peaceful dreams
To my weary spirit.
March arrived cold
While bright stars filled
The heavens as I slept.
Yet, as beauty gives warmth
To blooms of colour and snow
Your sweet words
Touch my chilled heart.
Peaceful dreams whisper
In the coldest of places
The gentle kiss of
The sun's warm breath
Awakens the promise
The hope that is spring.

    As eloquently beautiful your words so are, and as with much awe I always find myself in while reading any of your poetry, I'm fairly certain that these precise words you've written have touched many others who unexpectedly found themselves receiving hope and solace after reading them; you are a holistic healer poet.

Gently in Nature by Michael Griffith

Gently in Nature I wish today's sunlight could last forever. Our sky a blue that can't be defined by a crayon's name. Neither can the amber of your hair - They're both found gently in nature. We witness the park's afternoon together, but details will shift in time's shaky embrace. You will correct me when I misremember the breed of the runaway dog we saw and the name of that deli where we bought those regrettable sandwiches when I tell our friends about this perfect picnic day, but for now all I want to focus on is that spark in your smile as you look up into my squinting-in-the-sun eyes, a spark of love found gently in your nature.

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady The devil appeared Such an evil, dark one Told me his plan By the end I knew I was done. I had met a force Sure to break me down In a pool of my own blood I was sure to drown. He said, " You can't be this innocent, You can't be this sweet. I will deny you of your wings And you can join me below in my hellish heat." He proceeded to attack, Stripped me of my wings.. But I sensed God was present So I didn't feel a thing. He thought he had won As he took my weapons of flight But I fooled him..for even a broken winged angel Can still stand up and fight.
