Corrected Lens

I love you, Lord, not for the road to my own castle that I took you for, but for You Yourself— the end of every road I take.

Night and Day

They meet at the edge of the world— the soft, pink pillow of the sun and the cold, navy runway of the stars— two as different as they come. And if they refused to be seen together, the children of earth would live and die without ever seeing a sunrise.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

In Lieu of a Fireplace

In lieu of a fireplace, I warm my hands over the stove, feel the force of air shoving the cold backward. I find the crackling fire track on my phone and fill the silence with whispering embers. I strike a match, putting flame to wick, just to see the fire dance. It’s no alpine chateau, […]

Intellectual Loneliness

Poetry, the language cloaked in imagery— few can speak it, fewer understand the way the sound of words wrap around another meaning. For most, this forest, thick with foreign syntax, stands impenetrable as a fortress. But metaphor—what a door to wider worlds! Yes, plain English needs her voice, but, oh, my first language. . . […]

The End of the World

Death will shake the world tonight. Darkness creeps among the trees— monsters lurking, hunting prey by the stench of our disease. You will hear the corpses fall. But do not fear. The road will go on perilously, threading deep into the woods. The clouds will overcome the moon, in wraith-like conquest of the sky, and […]
