"Jesus is the only card I have left to play, but with that Card, I'll win the game." - Travis Allen 1981-99, Class of 2000, Auburn Adventist Academy

Poetry in Motion

Slipping back
back through shadows
to a magic world
world of books.
new, wondrous world
it was
to explore
was my aim
Starting with the most
wondrous
of all
The Bible
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A child raced upon the grass
laughter like a breeze
tiny head, deep in dreams
reaching stars with ease
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
starlight dances
stardust races
supernovas burst

playful system
gathered wisdom
in God's universe
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
soft calm rain
a touch of heaven
drought
gone
hopes
return
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
Frost lingers
    cool white ice
    clinking in the grass
The sun smiles
    it's gone
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
Winter limbs shiver
     bare of leaves
     dressed in snow
summer's decor arrives
     soft fury leaves
     bright against sky
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
Your touch
   awakes desire
       deep within my heart
       so dance a dream
   and awaken
Embraced by me
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
Fragile love
          is
          two interlocking
                 to become
                       one
