Forgive
By Nicolette Matt
 
A glance oblique
Can not defeat
Trinity.
 
Waltzing Earth 
Body - Mind
Holds our hands
Bound by time.
 
Undercurrent 
Waters rise
Aqua fur
Silky fine
 
Gesture to
Spirit eyes
Watching from
Rosy skies.
 
Love's dissent
Grace cuts through
Hope's a ship
Lashed to truth.
 
Broken limbs
Wrought by wind
Still forgive.
 
Opening the Curtains
by Connie Biddle Morrison
​
The moon is bright and full tonight as its rays draw me to the covered window. I caress the old wooden frame with one hand and wiggle the fingers of the other between the delicate lavender sheers. Using both hands now, I gently part the curtains to gaze out upon a miracle of moon flowers, tiny pink and white petals shimmering in reflected light.
The night is calm and still with no noises, no strife, just peace and tranquility as the mirrored radiance reaches me, me among millions who may be staring at this same moon in this same quiet moment of reflection.
