Trying
Something New
By Aaron Betson When you begin something, Usually it is hard to do, But don't give up and feel blue. Just keep trying, thinking and waiting, And eventually it will be easier. It usually works for me. When you're trying something new, This should work for you.
Aaron is a ten year old
homeschooler.
When not immersed in a book,
he is most likely to be found at the computer.Caterpillar
by Devlyn I have seen the vision of butterflies From here on my lunch-time leaf, But real as it seems I am dumbstruck By a feeling of disbelief. What link do they touch within me? I seek to deny their power; I hide with the fear of my Knowing? The leaf in my mouth turns sour. I have heard the summon of butterflies And find that I must now move: No more tis enough to be who I am Accepting a self-warped truth. I weave, with doubt as my shadow, The fabric of Death's dark womb, Tucking in strands of hopeful thoughts, Til I am all consumed. time stretches so everlastingly like waves on the shore of my being, til I'm touched by the warmth of coming dawn, awed by what I'm now seeing: Wings! I have wings! And the freedom To attend to the desperate cries Of my kinfolk who wander, still seeking The secret of butterflies. Wind beneath your wings Counselor and Poet of Deep and Mythic Pathways, Dev has studied, explored, and experienced shamanic and spiritual traditions from Celtic to Native American, journeying the Matrix of Light since birth. She is a Healing Touch Shaman, Dimensional Mystic, and has had a book of Celtic poems published, called Myst-taken Identity. |
the
mothcatcher
by Jennifer Monaghan a furry figure zips by in the corner of my eye without turning my head i continue to watch as she dances across the living room floor waving her arms about like a maniac jumping onto the bookshelves knocking over knick-knacks pictures swinging back and forth on the walls a tabby-tornado intent on only one thing calmly i rise from my spot at the computer and retreive a drinking glass a firm piece of thin paper i approach the moth and unsuccessful mothcatcher and place the glass over the fearful insect it flutters as i slide the paper between the glass and the wall a sudden swipe of a paw nearly knocks the glass from my hand but i hold it steady i rush outside to set the moth free and return with an empty glass much to the disappointment of a mischevious cat written by Jennifer Monaghan for my eternal-kitten Hazel copyright 2003
