HAVE YOU EVER

Poem by D. K.

Have you ever been so happy
that you can't help but smile
to a stranger that passes by
and that they too smile for a while

Have you ever noticed
that when you look at someone
and you see them looking back
you feel like you're not alone

Have you ever wondered
about how others see you
and how they treat you differently
by the things that you do

Have you ever wished
yourself away
to another comforting place
just for a single day

Have you ever been
Somewhere no one has before
and seen the other side
of the separating door

Have you ever thought
about how lucky we all are
to have all these wonderful things
like a house, a family, a car

Have you ever wondered
What would ever happen
if these things where taken away
would you be sad or gladdened?

Snow Swept

Poem by David Cannon

Abandoned streets dormant in winter,

Concealed in a sheathe of whiteness,

Footprints languish to nothingness,

Swept pure of all signs of life,

Amber street lamps tint the pavement,

The only sound is the cadence of the wind,

That whistles an ode of iciness,

Against the misted pane of my window.

My breath lingers on the glacial air,

A taxicab tears through the snow,

Its headlights pierce the room with silver,

Leaving tire tracks that foul the ivory road.
