By Julia Shaw

That I'd like to push a button and just rewind.

Head is an untidy desk
Full of books and hooks
Increase the speed of the brain
To that of a fast running train
Before exams we relax
When they are around the corner we work hard
During the exams, fear begins to sink in
After exams, the...Read More

I recreated my homeland to write newly upon it
And on the twenty first day, God rested for months
To ensure the world could shine darkly

The February sun shone mercilessly
As the only thing that could kill...Read More

knowing God is ever close to me, 
here or there, I am still, 
with Him. 

I want to...Read More

Fourteen and a half years
since death of mother (mine),
nary one iota of communication

indirectly sabotaging rapport
with eldest daughter
futility doth arise uttering
feeble secular prayers,
cuz...Read More

Higher education
 
Learned knowledge doesn’t
Doesn’t replace the truth accumulated
During a lifetime.
Everything you learned at school,
The certainty you had, falls on the wayside.
They tell you about wars, but doesn’t
Explain why it happens, if they do
It is mostly some nonsense that suits...Read More

The newest student in class
   The just-hired employee
The representative-elect
   The groom and bride-to-be

Within a few months or so
   Where does that spirit go?
