MARIE ELENA’S POEM:

THE WORLD AT LARGE

Our galaxy is inconceivably vast;
Home to our planet
Within a space of roughly
Ten billion light years.

Ten

billion

light years.

Yet, here we gather -
Knowing and being known,
Hearing and understanding,
Meeting together,
Sharing words, hearts, selves,
In an instant in time,
At will.

On closer inspection,
The world at large
Really isn’t.

WALT’S POEM:

A HANDFUL

The world is full of wonder,
I’m under its spell.
It could very well be a jewel
to behold, or a nightmare
to unfold. Its fate
is in our hands.
