AT THE END, A DOOR

by Maureen N. McLane

I walked through

and on the other side

I thought I’d look back

through the door

“that was another life”

here I am on this side

standing looking

same life

... Because there's always a moment outside of time when the hurts and the resentments fade away and what's left is the living memory of something important, and that's the truth, and the beauty.

Sharon Messner, "No one told us we couldn't"

In Perpetual Spring

By Amy Gerstler

Gardens are also good places

to sulk. You pass beds of

spiky voodoo lilies   

and trip over the roots   

of a sweet gum tree,   

in search of medieval   

plants whose leaves,   

when they drop off   

turn into birds

if they fall on land,

and colored carp if they   

plop into water.

Suddenly the archetypal   

human desire for peace   

with every other species   

wells up in you. The lion   

and the lamb cuddling up.

The snake and the snail, kissing.

Even the prick of the thistle,   

queen of the weeds, revives   

your secret belief

in perpetual spring,

your faith that for every hurt   

there is a leaf to cure it.
