Something to Savor

We hope you all enjoyed your weekends. Ours were filled with family functions, Marilyn Monroe flicks, all night partying, and what Em described as "the best Superbowl party ever." Sa-weeet. 

As we informed you in our last post, we will now be posting on Tues and Thurs in order to give you readers more time to savor these lovely works. This is subject to change depending on how many submissions we start to receive. And today's post is definitely something to savor, with a melodic poem from artist-extraordinaire Jessica Licciardello. Enjoy and please leave feedback, thanks!

We Are The Birds of Light

by Jessica Licciardello

Bring forth holding flag of life

come from above with God spirit shine

with this message is known kind

this truth known while underway

threadbare withers and torn

not for us that destiny bechose

did not create the bird of prey

which did come to being 

a hellish tool did make

not similar, nothing same

seen it now our course

fashioned with love the word

the comfort of this known be

will bring us our time

for we are the birds of light

we will have our home
