by Michael R. Burch
for the mothers of Gaza
There was, in your touch, such tenderness—as
only the dove on her mildest day has,
when she shelters downed fledglings beneath a warm wing
and coos to them softly, unable...

all that makes life worthwhile:

The Castle On White Otter LakeThe Castle On White Otter Lake

Stands facing the lake.

To acknowledge his presence,
In a changing world, he felt
He could not participate in.
And so chose to live like...

Across RealmsImperfection follows me through the wilds
Forests of failure, feelings flowing
Breathless darkness, consuming the dreams
Erasing the joy, destroying the wonders
Coloring the hopes in silence that flings away
Music and dance, poetry and promises
From the heart who listens...

Thankful
I remember…
Waking up with an eagerness
That can only be felt, never described
By mere nouns, verbs or adjectives –
This was a feeling more precious than gold,
More electrifying than that string of lights
Placed so perfectly on tender...

Spirits In the WoodStanding all alone in the woods;

while pockets of air blush...

Storm WarningI love spending nights on the lake.
Once the oven-like sun disappears,
things get suddenly quiet, except for
the occasional hoot of an owl, crickets, frogs
and the soft lapping of the lake on the boat.
