Intersecting Lines
The point where X and Y meet
Two lost lovers meet under the clock at Grand Central Station, the point where x and y come together. The minutes tick by, people pass, trains come and go, but for them, time moves backwards. His smile brings back spring. Her eyes bring back snowy winters. A lost touch, a familiar voice, an unfinished story. The question of what could have been if different choices were made. But tonight, he will get on one train and she on another, headed in opposite directions, as they did years ago, each one, a line, with a definite trajectory, never to intersect again.

Guardians of the Garden
One cool, early April morning, while the dew hung silent and still from newborn flower petals, Mr. Bee was already up and buzzing about the community garden. The hive woke early, particularly in spring, each bee with their own set of duties for the day. Mr. Bee spent the last three years stationed at the lilac bushes, an assignment he thoroughly enjoyed. The fresh, sweet aroma of the lilacs, and the little, pale purple flowers clustered together like tiny butterflies, hanging ever so slightly, like veils protecting the tree’s secrets, made every day a joy for Mr. Bee. He whistled a pleasant tune as he hopped from lilac to lilac, collecting nectar and pollen and enjoying the fragrant air.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
