Insight | Dinka Bednjacic

I found a shine
in a smile,
glow on your face
even when you cry

There is no regret-
in the words you write,
or the letters you’ve never posted-
Like all the loves you have found-
Loves,
You have
Lost it
I have insight in the ways we have lived

Becoming open to the gentle rain-
like a meadows in spring
When all is due to be born

You are such gladness,
the shadow that will shelter behind the door,
found in a place that we would cry,
turns away
To wither and die

You are truly
a listener of your own thought,
the warrior of wounds

This joy,
will ease our fears,
with a baby
in hand

Hold
Gaze for a while

Graduation Day at Wagor High School | Ian Fletcher

Graduation has arrived
our school days are done
our adult lives yet to come
this end thus our beginning.

We stand as if on a wharf
of some great port ready
to embark on the vessel
that will take us all forth
to reap what we have sown
in destinations unknown.

Today the gods seem kind
so we trust ourselves to fate
letting the wind fill our sails
for life’s high seas await!
