summoning the spirit to survive … and thrive
By: Cliff Anderson

Do I have what it takes?
 Can I let off the brakes
    lighten my load
  and fly down the road
     with a smile on my face?
Just try and keep pace,
 ‘cause I’m ready to go –
 tired of moving so slow
    ‘cause I’m scared
  that I’m not prepared
    for the challenge ahead.
   Two friends are dead;
        I just get older;
      the seasons get colder;
    potential becomes regret…
       so, am I free yet?

Early Rain
By: Whitney McCoy

Few morning travelers tread this path today.
Heads down, eyes barely open.
Minds busy with thoughts of dreaming.

The wind whips around naked tree limbs,
Sweeping down, tossing hair about my face
Like a mischievous sibling.
