Lost and Found
by Allan Brooks
So wonderfully cruel has been my wilderness experience
That I’d love to wander this path forever
To get totally lost in the faithful assurance,
“I will be found”
Found in service to God through others
Liberated, empowered, fulfilled
Refreshed and ready, fortified to take to the journey again and again
Alone

The Power of Art
by Steve Anderson
Art can make you feel so much,
When you were just feeling nothing.
Art can express beauty,
But more importantly, it can express anything.
Everyone's mind has it's own language,
Art is a universal translation.
People work hard to make the translation more accurate,
But often the inaccuracies are a better communication.
Art has a satisfaction matched by none other.
You often achieve great things you never tried to do.
Lying is such an offense in life,
But art doesn't have to be true.
Art appeals to the senses,
Giving a clear entrance to the heart.
And few things excite the heart
Like the ambiguous nature of art.
| Just One
by Joe Dimino
Just one, little drop.
Who could define it
Different from all the rain?
Yet, one little drop in the gray
Not quite as plain;
One leaf, out of all
The color-
Flamboyant of the trees,
This one, little leaf
Fluttered differently
Now in
The autumn breeze
And a fluffy, little cloud overhead
Knew herself not quite the same;
While the others, for the storms taking blame,
Her oasis of shade, thought she,
Was for
The thirsty made
And one man
Out of all those
Before Him rejecting the Christ,
Did not wait to be asked twice-
One soul hung on cross
So
All
Us
Lost
Could
See

Oh Greece How Wonderful Are You!
by Mejame Ejede Charley
Oh Greece, I'm often lost in wonder
As a classicist I learn
You produced the greatest sculptors
You produced the greatest architects and philosophers
That the world has ever known
Even today there are none to equal you
How was this possible?
Your sages instituted holidays
The purest and most beautiful girls
Danced through the streets
Clothed in a single transparent veil
Your men watching them were lost in wonder
And admiration at their grace and beauty
They were lost in awe at the subtlety of their movements
And gestures; this wonder, this energy built up
Within your people and surged up to their brain
And manifested itself later
In the form of wonderful creations
Nay the people of the postmodernists
Know only pornography, sex, inordinate desire
Drunkenness, debauchery and everything subterranean.
And their art is only its result.
