FEARS ASSUAGED
Lying prone upon this desperate land, With the weight of sin upon my back, Enormous rocks – the weight I cannot stand, To take away my breath below the stack. Each slab weighs more than the one before it, … Continue reading
PIERCING THROUGH THE DARKNESS
POETRY BY KATHY BOECHER Black, acrid smoke rises from a recently snuffed candle. It weaves its way through the light, causing darkness to prevail. But is that darkness eternal? Will the light return again? Will the endlessness of obscurity win … Continue reading

Brilliantly colored ornaments hang tight to the Christmas tree, Stockings are hung on a mantel while a roaring fire we see, Packages look so festive in colors of red, gold and green, With ribbons they’re bound, and secrets within, makes … Continue reading
WHAT’S THAT NOISE?
‘Twas the month before Christmas and all through the house, The only thing stirring was a cold, little mouse, He thought he’d sneak in while the getting was good, He found a warm corner in the neighborhood, The house it was … Continue reading
WHAT IS THE BEST GIFT?
This time of year often turns into a competition of buying the “best” gift or at least thinking we are. Many beautifully wrapped packages appear beneath the tree, with anticipation running high and hopes building. Unfortunately the focus of this … Continue reading

‘Twas right before Christmas and in our simple old house,Not a creature was stirring except one small mouse,He wasn’t too big, but the sight made me cringe,A mouse in the house meant he’d surely infringe, So off to the hardware … Continue reading
THE FINAL PAGE
Rippled sand forming a gigantic canvas reaching across the horizon. Arid, barren, scorched and without life. A seemingly insignificant expanse, devoid of moisture. Enclosed by the sun, the wind and all the elements, Segments of a pattern that once was … Continue reading

THE BEAT OF A DIFFERENT DRUMMER
The beat of a different drummer, the rhythm that forms its song, The ratta-tat-tat of the lonely drum, the war call it brings along, Words of engagement underlie, beneath the beating cadence, The march of weary, blood torn feet, continue … Continue reading
