She was a child of summer, and he was the son of winter
The stars spelled out tragedy and forecast love’s splinter
They both closed their eyes and fell into a lover’s dream
Only to awake with their hearts ripping open at the seams
*************************
She sparkled with sunshine, and he chased her with night
He tried to fight against his nature, but he frosted her light
A scorching heart can not thrive in the land of ice and snow
Two hearts break as the stars tell them to let their hope go
*************************
She was his endless midnight sun, and now darkness has come
He was her north wind, and he blew her back to where she’s from
They begged the heavens to save their love and asked for a home
But the only answer received was you’re both better on your own
*************************
She was summer, and he was winter, star-crossed lovers of fate
Together they believed in the magic of the possibility love can create

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.
