Find me
in a sea
of blue
Kiss me 
in the
dawn's
golden 
hue
Hold me
less I
fall to
pieces
Love me
until all
time
ceases

Walking 
in the rain
I am a child
again, as
raindrops
fall upon my 
face, gently
caressing
in warm 
embrace
Bringing a 
smile, a 
playful laugh.
and for just
a moment,
a memories
past

This poem is 
not for the
sane, though
it is one of
clarity
Far down the
rabbit hole
I fell into a 
dream
There I found
serenity in
a wonder of
reality
A place where
hopes and 
wishes, always 
come true
If only you
believe in
the magic
of you

There are days 
I feel so lost
I cannot find 
my way
Trapped beneath
a sea of doubt
Anchored against
the waves
I scream and shout,
but no one hears
My deepest thoughts,
my truest fears
And, on those days
when I'm adrift at sea
I take a deep breath
and remember me

Feelings of 
uncertainty
trapped inside 
absurdity
As leaden 
stones of 
gray keep
the hearts
frailty at bay
Hidden jewels,
the souls
fool
Treasures
beyond all
endeavor
Forever to 
remain
Forbidden to
impart
Are the secrets
of one's 
heart
Somewhere
Already we've begun
For I feel your caress
in the warm summer 
sun
Somewhere I hear your
whisper upon a winter wind
I taste your lips in dreams
with no end
Somewhere exists a place
beyond all time
Where two hearts beat
steady
Two souls entwine
Somewhere I miss
you

Where are you on this starry night?
Are you sleeping?
Are you dreaming?
Are you alright?
Sometimes I wonder
who you are
For we met, only once,
upon a star
I wished for you
Did you wish for me?
I dream of the time
our souls meet 
again
What will we say?
What will begin?
Alas, only the universe
knows our fate
So, until then
We wait

May I dream of you
before I wake
May I feel your love
as the dawn breaks
In peaceful slumber
I wait for you
To hold me close
and feel my truth
For our love exists
amid the stars
In celestial wonder
and worlds afar
Across the distance
of space and time
A parallel universe
within my mind
So,
May I dream of you
before I wake
May I feel your love
as the dawn breaks
In vulnerability
love transcends
In euphoric hamony
we begin
Our souls immortal
as we become one
Your heart is the 
portal to my love
undone
May I dream of you 
before I wake
May I feel your love
as the dawn breaks.

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. BIO:   Michael Griffith began writing poetry while recovering from a life-changing injury. Poetry helped his mind and spirit stay healthy as his body healed.

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. (C)2016 Bio I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace. After a brutal attack a few years ago, I have been plagued by PTSD. After the attack and a few suicide attempts, I vowed to tell my story and help inspire others to get help and to know that they are not alone.  I am currently wrapping up two manuscripts for public...
