Featured Poem
There's a six to eight year age gap between my older siblings and I. It made for some awkward evenings when I couldn't understand what the fighting was about or why it was even necessary. This poem is a reflection on that.

As the Rain Came
Seeing those I loved and who loved, Locked in conflict, The origins of which, I knew not. But I watched, As the rain came down. Hearing angry voices, heated whispers, In the blackest nights. That I heard, they knew not. But I listened, As the rain came down. Learning of raw feelings and wounds, The growing spite, That I understood, they knew not. But I felt it, As the rain came down. Time passed, As did some I loved, Leaving scars, --Thick, raw, tender scars-- The which of, they knew not. But I still think of them, Still know the pain, And I feel it, As the rain comes down. I pray they’re now at peace, Resting in the warmth of peace. That I miss them, they may know not. But I do. And I feel their hearts, Each time the rain comes down. --William Martin |
