At One With Nature
By Jess Boyes
Earth
The seeds should be sown,
to be nurtured, so we grow,
and align as one.
------------------------------------------
Water
The flow and movement,
we can choose to move with it,
and find our peace there.
------------------------------------------
Air
Our necessity,
we continue to pollute.
This, we cannot see.
------------------------------------------
Fire
Both our friend and foe.
To rejuvenate, we burn,
yet it can destroy.

Take a Leap
No help from the airline, on the plane I stand. Reading the safety instructions, I don’t understand, so I leap. Evening. Walking the streets of suburbia, I see houses with their lights on but I don’t want to enter. Walking by a group of tattooed men, staring at me. They nod, I say “hello” - they look surprised. One turns to say, “thank you.” I’ve made them happy. I’m not scared, but I don’t want to be there, so I leap.

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.
