Poems
Paint My Tomorrows
by Alicia Hugg Cutting
I will sing you a song
Edged with sweet longing
Melodic magic
Chords of bliss
Lyrics of soul
Take now my etchings
Sanguine tinged portraits
In hues of sunshine
Spatters of sorrow
Sweet core of my being
Sing sonnets to me
Verses of beauty
Choruses of life
Paint my tomorrows
With love.
Guest Poet: Sharon Rodgers
For my son Kelly Brent Kubicek
The sleepy sun rises each morning
The harvest moon glows every night
They do not know my heart is broken
a life forever bereft of light.
The creaking walls echo the silence,
the only sounds the night can hear.
For a youthful heart has just stopped beating.
A loving son no longer near.
A soul asleep so warm and peaceful,
ever close he’ll always be.
If home is really where the heart is
his nome will always be with me.
Until the Silence
by Alicia Hugg Cutting
Write verse like chapter, chapter verse
Words float on rafters of mindfulness
Stung by life’s turbulence
Shaped by its stillness
We go on
Travelers on seas of contemplation
Slowed when rivers of stone
Create mystical pathways
We must pursue
Until the silence
Consumes our journey
Until the silence
Becomes our goal
