Inspirational Poems
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.

The Rescue
by Zach Ascot
Breathing thick troublesome air,
Stranded on a platform,
Deep out at sea,
Standing there indefinitely.
Fixated on the horizon,
Waiting for salvation,
In a childlike state,
Envious of seabirds,
Longing for a simpler existence.

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

On Havana's white shore –
by Amy Michelle Mosier
On Havana's white shore –
With each salt-infused whirl
That agitates its border –
Every sand is a potential pearl.
Sweat is the other garment
by Amy Michelle Mosier
Sweat is the other garment
You wear in the desert
When the only water is in the cactus
And all but the flies are inert
But a cool layer of sweat
Is a hiker’s proof of award
For taking a thin trail
And in curiosity, moving forward.

21 Moorcroft Place (Listed Building)
by Sharon Morgan
I fell in love the moment I saw you
Standing elegantly in a crowded street
Eyes as glass, windows that I would peer into to discover you
To behold a fireplace, a welcoming flame on a cold day
A symbol of elegance as two smooth marble legs
shaped as columns decorated shoes of clean sandstone
Stairs that beckon visitors to peer through an open door.
A beautiful breast of woven brickwork, evidence of a craftsman

Rises the Moon
by Civl 12346
Earth crumblin’, Stars spinnin’, The wind whippin’.
Her arms flailin’, grip on her sword slippin’.
Body spinnin’ while the Devil’s watchin’ and grinnin’
Wicked and wild, smilin’ ‘cause her time comin’.
His time bidin’.
'Cause this time he knew she’d be the one dyin’.
Lungs gaspin’ and heart poundin’ her mind tryin’
To find the divine might insider her that just might fight the fright fillin’
Her heart dark the light spillin’,
Dread deep it drillin’,
