"Waiting for doors
of the past and present
to be restored as the veil
lined with forgotten memories
and alternate worlds
come roaring down
as a comet falling from the heavens;"
- Open Doors, Mark Hernandez

"The girl with dreads and green apple eyes
Pretends to write notes, and think hard about what
The teacher is saying—
Something about modern democracy
And Plato’s honey-rimmed glass"
- Poly-Sci, Maddie Pillari

"The Third and Final light: The Stars.
Burning so bright it seems they fly.
Mysterious, seen from afar.
And that is what lights up the Sky."
- Lights of the Sky, Lauryn Waldo

[Z Publishing Colorado @CO___Writers]

"Time flew past me, whispering wisdom,
About the futility of all known patience,
I stood there, tiptoed, waiting.

Death came, with a smile on its face,
I told him, I am still waiting for her.
I stood there, tiptoed, living."
- Tiptoed, Marm Dixit

"As a proud member of everything minor,
I address the major in thinking they’re finer;
To stop this now is to start with you,
But still you ignore that that is true."
- How Is This Any Different, G.N. Riley
