Division of Your Heart
** by Shaheen Sultan Dhanji **  // Tonight there is little inspiration tonight; the air cool and wet my heart a little dry and flat white fabric pins open my midnight window

A slice of light moon driven I hope slides into my bed-room

Rain sings on the tin window sill slow hum of the fan the winds now passed like good-bye kisses straight down from the sky

All night the creaking of a loose window pane and now this unbearable stillness

Love here is occasional dependent on the arms of an unwound clock its face downcast;smitten with tricks the gap between nothingness opened the division of your heart emptied a place for me

When my eyes met Your dead body //  

** Beautiful Night Moon ** ** by ** ** David Kane **  ** // Hey, Moon! What you lookin' at? Ain't nothing you haven't seen already, ain't that right?

You sitting up there so big and round and white just grinnin' like everything's all right?

Well, maybe it is and maybe it ain't and I guess it doesn't matter to you . ..

But I read you might be a piece of this planet.

That long ago you were ripped loose by some near-miss or glancing cosmic blow.

So I guess maybe you know all about losing things.

Losing your home. Losing your friends. Losing everything you knew.

Maybe that's why I like you so much.

You've been through so much but you never flinch.

I can tell you've suffered too. You've seen it all haven't you?

The rise and fall of countless creations great and small.

Furry, feathery, scaly, hairy, boned or boneless, quick or slow, animal, mineral or vegetable.

The rise and fall of civilizations.

Known and unknown.

Intro, story line, ending.

Again and again and again.

But don't be sad.

It's a beautiful night, the stars and the Moon are shining bright. ..

Have a beautiful night Moon. // **

** Lightwind Serenade **** by: Lily Pierce **   //Lightwind Serenade// ** // A Poem, A Tribute to a Beloved Friend, to an Amazing horse. Rest in Peace. // // This is a poem I wrote in tribute to my cousin’s horse who passed away on Wednesday, April 15th, 2008. She was 23. She will be missed dearly. //

// Fast and furious With a billowing mane, An un-rubbed tail Her racing hooves never pausing to touch the soft grass As she runs along The fields of heaven

With a hearty neigh Her tail flies vertical Her flying hooves race faster still As she runs along The fields of heaven

With a smile you turn to see her Happily galloping towards you With a snort she comes to a stop As she stands, proud In the fields of heaven

You lift your hand And stroke her dark chocolate, velvet nose She knickers softly Telling you that she’s okay As she stands, proud In the fields of heaven

A single tear slides down your cheek Your hand slips off her nose As she wipes away your tear Her warm breath floats all around her As she stands, proud In the fields of heaven

You wrap your arms around her neck You bury your face into her mane And inhale her soft, warm smell She wraps her head around your shoulders And pulls you closer still As together you stand In the fields of heaven

Best friends for eternity A bond formed with horses Has yet to be broken A girl and her mare Standing side by side An unwavering force A friendship formed by trust and love Never to be threatened As together you stand in the fields of heaven

With a sigh you pull away You stroke her soft face for one last time She nudges you once again “I’m okay Mom, I really am.” She backs up You do too With a spin She gallops away Back into The fields of heaven // **  // **Lightwind Serenade** // //Fast and furious With a billowing mane An un-rubbed tail Her racing hooves never pausing to touch the soft grass As she runs along The fields of heaven//
