If we'll make it to this earth, only time knows
Where we come from, only time knows
The major events that'll shape our lives
And make us . . . more

I take back this body
It is mine to do with as I please.
Cover it with flowers and feathers.
I will mark it with ancient symbols.

Some strange woman I don't know looking back at me.
My life would seem almost perfect to some,

My heart is aflame,

And I have found neither to rest my weary face
A whisper of rain in trees
Can bring the fiercest to their knees
Hazy mists rolled across the skies
And the truth was . . . more

Snowy white moth flirts browning grass.
Ebony bird struts lethargy.
Lazy oleanders bleed red buds.
While cars silent wait on black asphalt lot.
Summer sun slows to orange burn.

I have been looking,
Looking and waiting for my soulmate.
My heart so weary and heavy from waiting,
Where are you my love, my life, my mate, my soulmate?
The days are passing by,
The nights are . . . more

A Soldier's Story
By: Tabitha Lynn Cowan

Olive green and tan and beige,
Truly a soldier . . . more

Wind-pushed rippled gray clouds
Stretch February to cold eternity,
While hawks soar and sweep,
Never moving outstretched wings,
Seeming frozen in South Texas winter.

Once I had someone love me
When I was young and unaware
Of how fragile true love could be
Once I broke a young girl's heart
By carelessly . . . more

Winning the Lottery isn't always what it's
cracked up to be!
It was not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!
I won the Amwrican Dream, but I lost it!
It was a hard fall,
It's . . . more

I come upon her lying there
With graveyard roses in her hair
For others she is deadly still
A captive held against her will
But it is for me she calls
Her whisper crawling across . . . more

I finally exhale at last
I finally gather the strength
To release my trying past
Far too long I have suffered
In the shade of my downfall

You knew I didn't care
You knew that I would walk away
And never would be there
You knew my heart was frozen
You knew I was so cold
You knew that when . . . more

In this arena of lingua franca
Am convinced after years of pursuit
The perfect poem is yet unearthed
Have often been moved to dismal tears
No eulogy the . . . more

Blooming beautiful red rose
Which quickly dies and turns to ash
Before the scent can reach my nose
For that's always been my fate
Destroying beauty . . . more

Revealing him as he wanders among
His friends, watering.
From 5:00 to 10:00 he feeds the masses
Phlox and foxglove, rose and daisy;

Peering inside at the light
In my past how much I'd longed
To fit in and to belong
But with time I came to see
Something was . . . more
