And the rivers with the ocean,&#13;
The winds of heaven mix for ever&#13;
With a sweet emotion;&#13;
Nothing in the world is single,&#13;
All things by a law divine&#13;
In one another’s being mingle—&#13;
Why not I with thine?&#13;
&#13;
See the mountains kiss high heaven,&#13;
And the waves clasp one another;&#13;
No sister-flower would be forgiven&#13;
If it disdain’d its brother;&#13;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,&#13;
And the moonbeams kiss the sea—&#13;
What is all this sweet work worth&#13;
If thou kiss not me?&#13;

As a lone bird, soft winging, so restlessly on, &#13;
Afar o’er life’s turrets and vales does it roam &#13;
In the wake of those echoes the heart calls home. &#13;
&#13;
The heart of a woman falls back with the night, &#13;
And enters some alien cage in its plight, &#13;
And tries to forget it has dreamed of the stars &#13;
While it breaks, breaks, breaks on the sheltering bars. &#13;

                <text>Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,&#13;
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,&#13;
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,&#13;
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.&#13;
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,&#13;
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;&#13;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots&#13;
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.&#13;
&#13;
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling&#13;
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,&#13;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling&#13;
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—&#13;
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,&#13;
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.&#13;
&#13;
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,&#13;
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.&#13;
&#13;
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace&#13;
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,&#13;
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,&#13;
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;&#13;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood&#13;
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,&#13;
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud&#13;
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—&#13;
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest&#13;
To children ardent for some desperate glory,&#13;
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est&#13;
Pro patria mori.</text>

                <text>Wallachia, Moldavia or Transylvania&#13;
Of which you were born&#13;
Or you flow from Mt. Moldoveanu&#13;
To evolve in the Mures or Siret&#13;
Your adolescence soaked with&#13;
The sands of God that kisses&#13;
The miracle of the Black Sea&#13;
Marieta Maglas, as famous&#13;
As Timisoara, giving a new lease of life&#13;
You blend life, honey coated with caviar of love&#13;
You flourish many with a new fate&#13;
From Bessarabia to Bucharest&#13;
They walk with a glittering smile&#13;
A Philosopher, a Dentist and a Poetess&#13;
A complete package that could even&#13;
Melt Communism, without having&#13;
To drip innocent blood&#13;
I read your vivid words&#13;
Like Danube, it flows back to the Black Sea&#13;
The heart of Romanian&#13;
The place where you’d drown&#13;
All of your poems&#13;
Only to be read&#13;
As a history&#13;
When you’ve become a Legend&#13;
Marieta Maglas, save for the last&#13;
You’re in your own class&#13;
I beget your wisdom&#13;
To heal my conundrum&#13;
&#13;
&#13;

* Dedicated to Romanian Poetess, Marieta Maglas.</text>

I look to the moon, inconstant that she is,&#13;
And ask her why I fell for the sun.&#13;
I ask her why she hasn't the curtesy to chase all thoughts of him away&#13;
When it is her shift that has begun.&#13;
I ask her why she simply watches,&#13;
And wonder if it is because she too is half in love with him,&#13;
And in the darkness, in the dim,&#13;
Through the looking-glass of my dreams,&#13;
If that is the only chance she will have to look upon his face,&#13;
When she is night and he is day,&#13;
And one is present while the other is away.&#13;
And in some small way I understand,&#13;
In some small way I pity her,&#13;
For I have seen the sun once,&#13;
And now my dreams are full of him,&#13;
But she, as she sits gazing in the sky,&#13;
With a smile much like my own,&#13;
She has only ever caught a glance.&#13;
With her round and ghostly eye.&#13;
Her hope is foolish as is mine,&#13;
When I have memory, but she is time,&#13;
And when I am gone, she will live on,&#13;
And dream of him until the dawn.&#13;

                <text>Abraham Lincoln looked at the time traveler.&#13;
“So I die tonight, and nothing to be done about it?”&#13;
&#13;
“I’m afraid so,” said the traveler.&#13;
“Temporal mechanics just work that way.”&#13;
&#13;
“Why did you come talk with me, then?” said Lincoln.&#13;
“I imagine a body could get in some trouble for that.”&#13;
&#13;
The traveler leaned forward and said,&#13;
“Because everything you did for America was worth it.&#13;
Because we’re grateful to you for doing it.&#13;
Because it worked.&#13;
And because you deserve to know that.”&#13;
&#13;
“Ah,” said Lincoln. “Thank you.”&#13;
A smile curled his rugged face.&#13;
&#13;
Then the traveler pulled out a metal box.&#13;
“Listen to this, Mr. President,” he said.&#13;
Voices poured out of the box,&#13;
and Lincoln leaned near, dark eyes alight.&#13;
“… all counties reporting. Barack Obama is the first&#13;
African-American President of the United States of America.”&#13;
&#13;
Lincoln lifted his head.&#13;
“What is … will be … the date?”&#13;
&#13;
“November 4, 2008,” said the traveler.&#13;
&#13;
“So long…” Lincoln mused.&#13;
&#13;
“Well, the backlash after the war was pretty rough—”&#13;
the traveler began.&#13;
&#13;
Lincoln waved him off. “I meant,” he said,&#13;
“that my country survives that long.”&#13;
&#13;
“America lasts until planetary unification in 2029,”&#13;
the traveler added.&#13;
&#13;
That night, Lincoln left for his date with history,&#13;
still grinning.</text>

A Tribute to the Unseen Strength of Women&#13;
She is More&#13;
Because a woman is more than the world often tells her she is. by Mr. Anks </text>

                <text>She is not the gold that glimmers in the sun,&#13;
but the fire that warms the coldest nights,&#13;
the quiet strength that holds the world,&#13;
even when her own hands tremble.&#13;
&#13;
She is the voice that soothes the storms,&#13;
the steady calm when all else wavers.&#13;
She wears courage like second skin,&#13;
woven from the battles no one saw.&#13;
&#13;
She is not measured by the mirror’s gaze,&#13;
but by the wisdom in her words,&#13;
the kindness that lingers in her touch,&#13;
the dreams she dares to chase.&#13;
&#13;
She is the ink in unwritten stories,&#13;
the melody in unsung songs.&#13;
The world calls her mother, daughter, sister, friend,&#13;
but she is more — so much more.&#13;
&#13;
She is the healer of unseen wounds,&#13;
the lighthouse when the shore is lost,&#13;
the keeper of secrets, the giver of grace,&#13;
the poet, the warrior, the artist of love.&#13;
&#13;
She carries the weight of a thousand yesterdays&#13;
yet walks forward, unbowed, unbroken.&#13;
With laughter that stitches shattered hearts,&#13;
and silence that speaks louder than words.&#13;
&#13;
She is not waiting to be saved —&#13;
she is the saviour of her own story.&#13;
A force, a flame, a quiet revolution,&#13;
unshaken, unstoppable, enough.&#13;
&#13;
And if the world forgets to honour her,&#13;
let her know — she has always been extraordinary.</text>

                <text>My hands first held the iron weight, a blade forged keen,&#13;
The symbol of a warrior's fate, the sharpest tool seen.&#13;
Victories were numbered by the steel that did its will,&#13;
And each great name laid to rest, fear remained still.&#13;
For strength was in the metal, in its hardened, cutting edge,&#13;
And a solemn, fearful pledge was made to its cold might.&#13;
Then came the day the sword felt less a part,&#13;
A truth beyond its heft was sought, in quiet victory's art.&#13;
Into a verdant field, where green life starts and ends,&#13;
The power that could grow, where fragile stalk ascends, attends.&#13;
A blade of summer grass was taken, a whisper-thin and slight,&#13;
And a focused, burning might felt within its gentle stem's height.&#13;
At last, the weapon was found, not held within the hand,&#13;
But born of a determined will, a purpose to command.&#13;
The true war lives within the heart, the battle of the soul,&#13;
And a single blade of grass can bend and make the broken whole.&#13;
The power once sought to hold, and called a sharpened friend,&#13;
Is in the wind, the blade, the stone, and finds no violent end.</text>

Ten thousand miles apart, a chasm lies between us. Life's tides ebb and flow, separated by the vicissitudes of time. Only in the realm of the unseen do we meet once more. Life is absurd; life is nothing but life. We drift along with the current. ~LArry&#13;
&#13;
*The poem presents a bittersweet acceptance of separation. The speaker acknowledges the vast physical and temporal distance between two people but finds comfort in a connection that exists beyond the tangible. The poem transitions from the pain of longing to a more philosophical, absurdist view of existence, where the ultimate truth is to simply live—to drift with the current of life—while cherishing the unseen bonds that endure.*</text>

                <text>New Day's Lyric&#13;
&#13;
May this be the day&#13;
We come together.&#13;
Mourning, we come to mend,&#13;
Withered, we come to weather,&#13;
Torn, we come to tend,&#13;
Battered, we come to better.&#13;
Tethered by this year of yearning,&#13;
We are learning&#13;
That though we weren't ready for this,&#13;
We have been readied by it.&#13;
We steadily vow that no matter&#13;
How we are weighed down,&#13;
We must always pave a way forward.&#13;
&#13;
‍&#13;
This hope is our door, our portal.&#13;
Even if we never get back to normal,&#13;
Someday we can venture beyond it,&#13;
To leave the known and take the first steps.&#13;
So let us not return to what was normal,&#13;
But reach toward what is next.&#13;
&#13;
‍&#13;
What was cursed, we will cure.&#13;
What was plagued, we will prove pure.&#13;
Where we tend to argue, we will try to agree,&#13;
Those fortunes we forswore, now the future we foresee,&#13;
Where we weren't aware, we're now awake;&#13;
Those moments we missed&#13;
Are now these moments we make,&#13;
The moments we meet,&#13;
And our hearts, once all together beaten,&#13;
Now all together beat.&#13;
&#13;
‍&#13;
Come, look up with kindness yet,&#13;
For even solace can be sourced from sorrow.&#13;
We remember, not just for the sake of yesterday,&#13;
But to take on tomorrow.&#13;
&#13;
‍&#13;
We heed this old spirit,&#13;
In a new day's lyric,&#13;
In our hearts, we hear it:&#13;
For auld lang syne, my dear,&#13;
For auld lang syne.&#13;
Be bold, sang Time this year,&#13;
Be bold, sang Time,&#13;
For when you honor yesterday,&#13;
Tomorrow ye will find.&#13;
Know what we've fought&#13;
Need not be forgotten nor for none.&#13;
It defines us, binds us as one,&#13;
Come over, join this day just begun.&#13;
For wherever we come together,&#13;
We will forever overcome.&#13;
&#13;

While we slept, the world took shape.&#13;
A blank page awaits, a sun-dappled realm,&#13;
To write this day with hope's grace.&#13;
Yesterday's doubts and burdens,&#13;
Vanish like footprints in the rain.&#13;
No need to carry stale burdens,&#13;
This fresh day is too precious, too vast.&#13;
Hear the birds sing, a joyful choir of wings,&#13;
Chanting the new day's psalms, their voices swelling.&#13;
Each moment is an opportunity for creation and encounter,&#13;
Feel your heart beating boldly.&#13;
The morning light outside your window is a gentle reminder,&#13;
awakening your courage to dare.&#13;
Leave familiar territory behind, take that first step&#13;
to discover the surprises hidden within this fresh beginning.&#13;
So rise and shine, cast off the slumber of the past,&#13;
a new adventure is swiftly approaching.&#13;
The path ahead is yours alone to discover,&#13;
With each fresh dawn, cast off the dust of yesterday.&#13;

Love's rhythm never falters.&#13;
Heaven-made perfect companions,&#13;
Two souls entwined for eternity.&#13;
Two pairs of eyes reflect the shifting dawn light,&#13;
Burning fervor blooms within.&#13;
In the depths of their eyes lies an untold universe,&#13;
Sacred legends, ancient love.&#13;
Two souls soar on boundless breezes,&#13;
Finding solace in moments of stillness.&#13;
The world melts into a distant murmur,&#13;
For in this ecstasy, new life has sprouted.&#13;
No words needed, not a sound uttered,&#13;
Fingers intertwined, trust bound together.&#13;
A silent symphony, a gentle grace,&#13;
All captured in the lover's face, exquisite.&#13;
Bodies anchored beneath the earth,&#13;
Souls ascending in blissful radiance.&#13;
Within this pure and sincere union,&#13;
Two hearts and eyes are reborn anew.&#13;

                <text>My soul leaps in the gloomy air&#13;
Before the first flash of lightning&#13;
Feeling the stillness, filled with bright restorative power&#13;
That is the sky's secret promise to what passion loves&#13;
The air thick with ozone, crisp and sharp&#13;
The approaching flash tears through violet gloom&#13;
No cricket's song, no wind through branches&#13;
Like the whisper of a harp, awaiting the roar.&#13;
As clouds hang like a deep black curtain across the sky,&#13;
A pure white crack tears through the jagged edge—&#13;
The heavens' guarded secret,&#13;
Revealed and vanished in an unexpected blaze of light.&#13;
The heart, a sturdy chamber in the storm,&#13;
receives this wild electrical framework.&#13;
The sudden burst of energy, fierce yet warm,&#13;
ignites a flame within, calling out a name.&#13;

He seemed to have developed the ability to plot intersect points in his life based on previous *dreams*, small glimpses of *possible* outcomes.&#13;
&#13;
When reaching one, the previous, now a vision with a feeling of DeJa'Vu occurs.&#13;
&#13;
Remembers other possibilities of this intersect.&#13;
&#13;
Remembers the read about jumping intersect points to alter courses and lives.&#13;

Claude McKay&#13;

&#13;
Like a strong tree that in the virgin earth &#13;
Sends far its roots through rock and loam and clay, &#13;
And proudly thrives in rain or time of dearth, &#13;
When the dry waves scare rainy sprites away; &#13;
Like a strong tree that reaches down, deep, deep, &#13;
For sunken water, fluid underground, &#13;
Where the great-ringed unsightly blind worms creep, &#13;
And queer things of the nether world abound:&#13;
&#13;
So would I live in rich imperial growth, &#13;
Touching the surface and the depth of things, &#13;
Instinctively responsive unto both, &#13;
Tasting the sweets of being and the stings, &#13;
Sensing the subtle spell of changing forms, &#13;
Like a strong tree against a thousand storms. </text>
