Inspirational Poems
together in death, forever together
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
They lived they loved they swore to be
Together in this life forever through eternity.
Two hearts as one, side by side,
A world without the other neither could abide.
The virus ravaged, unrelenting, fast,
Draining their life force, each fighting to the last,
Knowing that minutes not hours remained,
Holding hands to then by God be claimed.

You still the one I want
by Aldo Kraas
You still the one I want
You still the one I need
You belong to me
Father
Tell me you are going
To be a part of my
Every day life
You are the one who made me
With you holy hands
And I don't see nothing wrong with it

Navigating Insecurity Safely
by Christen Kuikoua
Embrace your insecurities with grace,
Yet, don't let them dictate your pace.
They're shadows that may come and go,
But never allow them to diminish your glow.
It's fine not always to be on the peak,
Cool and collected, a demeanor unique.
Value the journey, not just the goal,
Secure your insecurities, make them your soul.

Music You Are My Beloved Friend
by Christen Kuikoua
Music You Were
Music You are
As a Kid, You Were
And still now you are
What would I have been without your wings so strong
Like thunder in my head
You made me fearless and bold
Oh, my dear friend, so beloved
Soft and melodious, you are

If this is a man
by Josh Lyndon
A man who commited no crime,
Yet forced to do the hardest time.
They shaved his head,
Gave him straw for a bed.
There was something special they knew,
But he was a convicted jew.
The nazi's seeked to destroy,
Primo Levi the geniouse boy.
Sent to work in the cold all day.
Not a bad word would he say.

64 Bewegingen van de Geest
by Mario Odekerken
Geen richting is vast
elke lijn
een trilling in het nu.
Stilte schuift in vormen
boven het water
een gedachte
wordt wind.

Solely on Us
by Somali Mukherjee
We can harvest well,
But we must plant our saplings;
We can build up luck.
By the way a rock pigeon cooed
by Amy Michelle Mosier
By the way a rock pigeon cooed
Deliberately out of sight
And moved me to rise from bed
With my own jingle in heart
And July's breath stills the pond
In its disarming manner
And robs the chimes of their song
And warms the oleander

Solo Tú

Solo Tú
living here on earth
Every single day
You say that
You are already used
To live
Solo Tú
You pray Solo Tú
For you Father every night
Before you go to bed

You are grounded here
by Aldo Kraas
You are grounded
Here on holy ground
The leaves of the trees
Are floating in the water
Because there are trees
Near the lake that my Father
Made with his holy hands
Many years ago
And also the birds are now resting on the trees
