Poetry

Hindsight

by

Serena Mossgraves


The way hindsight blinds,
kindness hidden by fear,
and friendship torn apart
by the illusion of what
the mind perceives.

Perhaps hindsight is twenty twenty,
but with no light to illuminate
seeing through the dark
can be an impossible thing.

Poetry

Forgotten Lullabies

by

Patricia Harris


you once gathered lullabies
pretending that you cared,
but how quickly were they forgot
when it no longer suited your life?

forgotten lullabies are
but the memories
children fight with
into adulthood.
