Introducing Wintertide

Dear Readers, We are pleased to announce to you the release of our first (and, at the current rate, possibly last) chapbook. For nearly a decade, we have been working on an Easter themed chapbook. Year after year, we would write new Easter poems and store them in this dusty, online vault, talking vaguely about […]

January 7, 2026

Who would think it January? Not the birds chatting eagerly as they zoom from branch to branch, not the tiny blue flowers, newborn among the weeds, and not I, warmed by sunshine and emboldened by the wind. Together, we savor this slice of Spring served so early in the year, the dead world stirring to […]

Though Sunlight Wanes

Sure though the light that led me through the day and hastens quickly to its wint’ry bed should deign to paint the clouds like kids at play: spilling flame and orange overhead, and though the shadows gath’ring round would dance their undulating coldness as the wane of mirthful brightness turns at last askance and closes […]

Midwinter

The color drained from the world; the shallow breaths of death moved across brown grass till nothing was left— except hope. And nobody could see it— except the birds, who carry it, beak-full by beak-full, all over the grey, the last ones who remember— nothing is really changed; life has only stepped away for a […]

Winter Birds

They fly the sky in style fletching waspish cloud, winging raven calls through quiet to nests now full and loud. – The sky’s a little fuller with ravens in the air; proof the world will go on twirling ever live and fair. – – – Photo by Lidia Stawinska on Unsplash

Protoevangelium

“The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring […]

To Those Who Walk in Darkness

“The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone.”‭‭ Isaiah 9:2 In the deep where sunlight cannot go— the place where whispers creep and tremors grow— we people whither in the hearts we know. We own that steeps to […]

Come to Us

God, only God boundless as the wind wide as heaven’s sky, You, only You can make us filled within can be our what, our why. – We long for peace and grasp at wrath and war, seizing all You “no’s”. We long for love, rest from sad and sore, joy and full release. – Grace […]

Country Road Walk

There’s a rhythm roar to traffic flow that’s rushing down the road. Stillness pricked by growing wind heavy on the ear that swishes into vortex speed a roaring soaring blast whipping wind as it roars past, receding faintly, quick now echoing to swishing tickle whisper . . . gone. as quiet fills the sonic holes […]

New Style

Call the leaves that left last month. Onlookers see past skeleton limbs. Long, lone trunks cast shadows at sunset… Dawn flashes from sparkling branches! – – – Photo by Olga Kovalski on Unsplash
