Grasshopper
lies hidden,
then suddenly takes flight;
In a field of green:
such a little thing -
I step lightly,
gazing at the sky,
tiny silhouettes circling,
hawks among the clouds.

Poetry
by Martha Christina
All the signs
of renewal
reassuring,
and humbling.
I kneel,
as befits a pilgrim,
and clear away
dead leaves.
by Monique McDowell
The woman
in the mirror
You see today
Is a woman
Who reflects
Beauty
Strength
Gentleness
And love
She indeed mirrors
The unfading beauty
That lies within

Our dog veers into the ditch,
noses an open-toed shoe,
as if she could track
a missing mate
as if reunion
and repair
were still possible.
