Growing Up by Aaron Betson
Growing up, growing up
I do it every day
In almost every way
When I do school
I grow smarter
When I sleep
I grow taller
Growing up, growing up
I do it every day
In almost every way
Sometimes it is not easy
And the school makes me queasy
But I do it every day
In almost every way
Growing up, growing up
You, My Juliet by Jennifer Monaghan
slender body
beneath fabric woven
from a sapphire sky
a crystal formed of the
moon’s nightly glow
hangs ‘round your neck
rests on the porcelain
skin of your chest
velvet curls frame a
face of pale ivory
the breath catches in
my throat as you descend
the stairway
your delicate fingertips
caressing the railing
your bottomless eyes
locked with mine
closer and closer and
then you are before me
your hand is in my own
a violin begins to
speak and the orchestra
comes to life
i can no longer feel the
solid ground beneath
my shoes i can only
feel you against me as
we twirl into the night
all else disappears i am
alone with you, my
enchanting elfin beauty,
my gentle maiden
you, my cinderella,
my rapunzel, my Snow White
you, my Viola, my Juliet,
my Elizabeth and my Guinevere
you, my elegant and
graceful queen...
Storyteller by Devlyn Rhys Young
I have seen my cupped hands as a chalice.
I have seen the stars dancing in them;
the ocean murmuring incantations,
moving among those very stars...
I have smelled the pine forests
and tasted the moonlight touching
the grove's hallowed ground in my hands;
I have heard butterflies discussing
this season's pollen flavors...
I have walked with elves
and flown with griffins;
I have played chess with dragons.
I have drunk the sweet elixir
of the rainbow myst.
I have journeyed beyond and within;
unique and One...
all within my cupped hands,
the chalice of my soul.
Third Row - Second Seat by Darla Fitzgerald
It's all in the power of thoughts
Silent movies playing in the mind
The film of life, memories of the past
Transcending with the passage of time
Never-ending gift of possibilities
Unfolding on the stage of creativity
Visions of untold hopes and dreams
Recording the heartbeat of their revelations
Episodes of purpose and resolution
Reflecting the soul's design of destiny
Genesis of thought, perceptions of spirit
Silent movies playing in the mind
