    The Flow
    by Terrill L. Croghan
    November 27, 1997

    The tumbling choas of a mountain stream
    Suspends its quest
    For communion with the sea
    In a still, verdant pool
    That seizes my searching gaze.

    This emerald mirror
    Reflects a weathered face,
    Gnarled ears that have heard,
    Seasoned lips that have spoken,
    Crows'-foot eyes that have seen,
    All my heart has felt
    And my soul absorbed.

    Questions float through my mind
    Like dancing Autumn leaves
    On the stream's cascading crests.
    What was the purpose of it all?
    What lessons have I learned?
    Who am I?
    What now?

    As does the water's odyssey,
    All things change and flow;
    The sea becomes the air in Summer,
    The air becomes the rain in Fall,
    The rain becomes the snow in Winter,
    The Springtime melt becomes the stream
    That begins again to seek the sea.

    Just a glimpse in time, perhaps,
    Is this rippled image I behold,
    A captured instant in the flow of all that is,
    To balance,
    And the endless journey's new beginning.

    The Seed
    by Terrill L. Croghan
    June 19, 1997
    A wayward seed struck barren ground,
                                  Strangled by sorrow,
                                                 And inertia,
                                  Doubting its survival.

                  It lay there numb to time,
                                Buffeted by fate,
                                               And change,
                                Wallowing in despair.

                  It whisked away in Winter's storms,
                                 Tumbled by fear,
                                                And regret,
                                 Praying for discreation.

                  It came to rest when Winter passed,
                                 Found a fertile soil,
                                                 And safety,
                                 Stirring timidly to life.

                 It quickened and began to grow,
                 Nurtured by the Springtime rain,
                                                And sun,
                 Drawing energy from itself.

                 It flailed its confining armor,
                                Struggling for acquittal,
                                                 And freedom,
                 Knowing someday it would be so.

                 Finally it burst its outworn pod,
                 Exploded kaleidoscopic blooms,
                                                And leaves,
                 Reaching unfettered for the light,

                 Awash at last in peaceful sunlit joy.

    THE DAWNING
    by Joann Filomena

    Sparkles of consciousness
    within infinite expanses
    begin to imagine
    dreamlike wanderings.

    Glimmers of images
    dance around the edges,
    ideas taking shape,
    fleshy beginnings.

    Awaken O dreamers
    and open divine eyes,
    upon the splendor
    of your thoughts.

    Delight in motion,
    to joyous sensations.
    Remembering not
    your dreaming birth.

    A Hole to the Sky
    by Kristen Fox
    There's a hole to the sky
    Where that tree used to be;
    Blown over by the winds of change

    It tried to stand stoic,
    Gripping the ground with fierce determination,
    But the universe has a saying - "When it's time,
    You can either go willingly,
    Or you can go."

    The trunk finally gave,
    Splintering apart like dry kindling,
    Severing the tree from its roots.
    City workers took the entire day to free it from its dying tangle with the overhead wires.
    A last ditch effort at denial.

    And now there's a hole to the sky.
    I can see so much farther.
