.
Living fast and running wild,
They say it was just my youth;
Traveling around searching for Truth,
Still I was confused;
Vanity raging words that aren't true,
A smile that's not from my heart;
Shining my pride and living a lie,
Still further we're drifting apart;
I tried to love, but I didn't know how,
You can't give a gift you've never received;
Closing my eyes, He took my hand,
Softly He whispered to me;
Now like a "prodigal son" I'm finding my way,
Coming home to stay;
You know I want to be your hands,
I want to see through your eyes,
I want to speak your words with no compromise;
My mind is ready, rearranging,
My heart is open, I feel the change and,
My life is so much better than before.

Poetry: Full circle
by Carol Gioia
When we were young, in love and poor,
with nothing much to lose,
you went to work and didn't mind
the holes in your old shoes.
"Bleeds Dreams"
The hazards of swallowing a double-edged sword
Make our paths to the morgue all the more absurd
An arrow shot
by Tracy Foote
Alone in the darkness
waiting,sil ent, motionless.
A blanket of cold covers
the womb like an icy shroud.
Water rushing,
the shroud
The finest thing you do for me
Of so many
Is make me think another way
When I get tangled up in private worlds of words.
Why
by Moeze Lalji
Have you
Understood life
Yet
It always travels
Back to the origin
The body was raised
From earth
So all Adams and Eves
Return back
