My Heart Beats
My Heart Beats
but time moves
My heart beats
the clock ticks
things change forever
and forever stay the same…
Jaguar Song: Poetry & Art by Sarah Burkle
Her black fur glistens
Even in the dark of the moon
The low growl rumbling in soft waves…
Moon Blood: Art by Bhavana Gesota
“Between the black and white,
Lie a multitude of colors.
White.
Refracted through the prism of—
thoughts, feelings, emotions.
Experiences.
Subjective.
Leaving the prism
To dissolve into nothingness.
Into the black.
Rendering the story irrelevant.
What remains is the outcome,
to be felt.
Welcome to my color palette.”
—Bhavana Gesota

In Honor of the New Moon: Poetry by Mark Coleman; Art by Sarah Burkle
If you knew you were about
To step off the cliff of the known
To slip from the safety of the familiar
Into the womb of darkness
That has no names
Would you still cross that threshold…
Poetry & Art by Derry Van Nortwick
It is not hard to accept that
you are better off without me hanging round
Driving in smokey cars
Crashing through morning
Hard enough
To have had a friend, who now
Rather not care for me at all…
Poetry & Art by Sarah Burkle
A hummingbird came to me,
Through my balcony and to my shoe
I could say it was attracted to my pink sneaker
But I think it came really to say hello to my soul…
Life Lived: Poetry by Sarah Burkle
Oh life, what a beauty you are!
Light and love-filled
And as my shadow crawls to the surface
I allow the light to creep into the darkest corners…
Green Poem & Green Art by Dawn Bratton
This poem thinks green.
You know, once an aura-reader at a meditation group
told me I was green, I thought he was crazy.
now? a green moment has presented itself…
Poetic Ponderings
As Simple As by Sarah Burkle
It does often seem glamorous
Waking from groggy nightmares
Crusted eyes and dry mouth…
“The darkness in you will begin to glow, and you will see clearly... If you will light your lamp you can gaze far over the ocean and even embark on it. Sitting in your chair you can travel farther than ever...”
