FIRST PLACE WINNER


Sandra Hopkins Keefer



Wish List
by Sandra Hopkins Keefer

simple life
something in the ground
a secret, small and beautiful
the beginning of once upon a time

wisdom
good advice
a gift more powerful than
you can imagine

heavenly serenity
a secret hideaway
a space, warm and inviting
music lingers and awakens the spirit

small pleasures
a handmade book overflows with
a rare memoir of beloved words

uplifting thoughts
celebrate the artist
master of visions
curious shapes in the hands of divine intuition

SECOND PLACE WINNER

You
by Julie Loy

You, like the snow,
slowly drifted into my life
forming and creating
a beautiful wonderland.
You stayed around for a while
until you were ready,
to harden into ice
and deliberately melt away.

THIRD PLACE WINNER



That Night We Prayed
by Suzanna Bond

You are ancient and immediate
Holding us there. the
Moon overhead. and the
Voice breathing toward me. the
Black shadow of grass.
the moon
the voice
the shadow
Over all through all and in all
She sang that triad song
But He didn't need to be said because
I move over You the grass beneath your feet
I whisper and caress you the cool of breeze
I light upon you the grey moon muscle
I open Your hand the fitted form and tender
you bend under weight of days and patient watching
You cradle witness of the funeral
you think and write a parallel network
You pace a landscape unseen
my remembrance a spongy soil

FOURTH PLACE WINNER

Are You Falling In Love, You Say?
by Lucy Rolf

I am falling into life,
Living once again.
To feel those heartfelt feelings,
My soul is on the mend.
You fell into my life,
And what a surprise you were.
I wake up everyday
With my past all but a blur.
The regrets have all but left me,
Nothing but sunshine in my heart.
Let's share life's precious moments,
Until the day we part.
I do trust you with my heart,
I trust you with my soul.
I trust that you are genuine,
And to love you is my goal...
