The Comforting Light
Its brillant light captivates you.
The radiant beams move
quietly
and
swiftly
as they illuminate the floor.
Yiu look - you listen - you smile - you think.
A light wind begins to blow and whispers gently in your ear.
Chills run down your spine like a thousand shards of ice.
It feels like someone is watching you, and yet, it's comforting.
Turning around, you see a bright and joyful face.
The face smiles and shoots off into the sky.
As this light disappears, you hear:
I'm
always
with
you.
By Cory S.
Finding Bliss
Stop.
Drop everything
Drama, pressures, annoyances, hurt
Leave it.
Take in the sapphire skies around you.
Tonight you will smile.
Make it a goal.
You're surrounded by people you love.
They make you laugh so hard it hurts.
Tell yourself you're okay.
Realize that hard times don't last forever.
Be spontaneous.
Live in the moment.
Enjoy yourself.
Brush your worries away.
Have as much fun as you did when everything was fine.
Chase after that feeling like it had your life in its pocket.
Because life without bliss is worthless.

First Snow Day
Hear the scrapping sound of the snow plow
Turn the television on
School has closed
Crawl back underneath the warm covers
Wake up
Get dressed
Bundle in think layers
Sift through the white snow
Down the slippery hill
Icy snowballs
Graceful snow angels
Tall snowmen
Mom's calling
Stomp powdered snow off your boots
Go inside
Get comfy
Mix the rich hot chocolate
Add the fluffy marshmallows
By Deanna E.
Delusion Soup
Start with the joy
of new beginnings
and exploring someone,
something new
That is eye opening, heart pounding
Then turn the heat down to a simmer.
Don't be surprised
When all the impurities
Quickly rise to the top,
Making you see something different
So unlikie the perfect mixture
That brought joy at the start.
This new perspective raises hatred in your heart
You don't understand,
How you missed these obvious ingredients,
which were stewing all along.
Your heart feels deluded,
Betrayed
Loving all the bits and pieces
You swore you'd
Never love in anyone.
BY Katie B.
Fairytale Lie
Lay out the ball gowns
Choose a tiara
Roll out the carpet
And jump on the white horse
Arrive at the palace
I see the light blossoming up above
Sift through the crowd
To meet the eyes of the charming one.
My body shreds to pieces when the angelic smile is revealed
It turns out, it's not real
Once upon a time seems far away
My heart starts to scald
As it stays too long in the boiler
With your back turned and promise cut
Grate away everything and leave me at peace
Your combined deceit and immorality
To create a hopeful entity
Just stop -
I know I didn't get my happy ending.
By Ammarah S.
