    ✍️ Arts/Lit Drift Of Life By Koangpe Konyak

    Drift Of Life By Koangpe Konyak Life goes on like a river, swift and wide, It does not pause, nor wait, nor hide. It rushes on through night and day, Relentless, steady, it flows away. Your world may stop, may stand so still, Yet time moves on, it always will. Too short the days to stop and...

    ✍️ Arts/Lit Fractured by Jodi M. Kucera

    Fractured by Jodi M. Kucera You look at me and only see the cracks, Fractured, like a piece of glass. Some are shallow and straight, Created by silently carrying so much weight. Others are round and splayed like stars, Words, a solar system of scars. Some are deep and cut to my core, From...

    Just Wait For The Sun By Lisa Marks When everything's darkness And you feel so alone, When the rain doesn't stop And you can't make it home, When it feels all is lost And you just want to run, It can't rain forever.

    ✍️ Arts/Lit There Will Come Soft Rain

    There Will Come Soft Rain by Sara Teasdale There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound; And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white; Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims...

    ✍️ Arts/Lit Instructions on Not Giving Up

    Instructions on Not Giving Up by Ada Limón More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out of the crabapple tree, more than the neighbor’s almost obscene display of cherry limbs shoving their cotton candy-colored blossoms to the slate sky of Spring rains, it’s the greening of the trees that really...

    ✍️ Arts/Lit Small Kindnesses by Danusha Laméris

    Small Kindnesses by Danusha Laméris I’ve been thinking about the way, when you walk down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs to let you by.
