First Place

Dear Life I'm hanging on for that bare second when love enters emptiness. Another world unfolds. Bold as God-breathed words: let there be - disarticulating chaos, setting light abroad; hatching hope for humanity hang on to dateless futurity when past errors, tears, and scares are ash beneath canceled seas. Pristine stars crown celestial plafonds. Prosaic passages of time waltz as poetic wit
