The lake is calling, and I must go, Its been like this for years
Although now, I no longer try to fight it
~
I hear it’s whispers on the wind, it calls me without fail. Entices me with sunshine that warms me like a hug.
It softly says my name and only I can hear it
~
It sings my name through branches, rippling waves and misty breeze. Like a long lost friend, united. It breathes new life in me
~
A sweet escape, a rebirth. Requires nothing but my mind.
For a moment I feel connected, for a moment, only peace.
For a moment my loneliness subsides

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
