Come Jesus Come and Rescue all of us
Many have seen, with their own eyes,

Giving us our blessed assurance while
Giving unto all of tear drops of purest
Joy in all of our eyes.

Forever
“Forever”
When The Terrors came,
The Uncontrollable Ones,

and listened for the notes
her mother had planted
amongst the deep blues,

Radiance, For Dylan Thomas
Radiance
by Michael R. Burch

dark images impacted, rooted clay.
The poet sees the sea but feels its meaning—

Myth, after Dylan Thomas
by Michael R. Burch
Here the recalcitrant wind
sighs with grievance and remorse

The God Complex
“The God Complex”
His face imprinted
hidden under layers of ink
he whispers his words
like a haunting breeze
dust blown off the pages
towards the back of their minds

the less difference I find in their continuing distinctions
Like interdependent cognitive thoughts
and intuited feelings,
their side by divide expertise,
their mutually exclusive bilateral oppositions
merge toward dipolar appositions,
