 Fall 2023     Poetry 

Moonbeams

Noah Shenk

Moonbeams

Say to me goodnight

Peeking through the curtains

Of an old familiar dream

 

Falling like the snowflakes

In Winter

Blowing like the autumn breeze

With leaves,

Sprinkling as the summer rain

Seems to do

 

Flowers in the springtime

Hold the feeling in suspense

Of creations and ideas found in

Moonbeams

Among my Greed

Boyce Road

Celestial Infatuation

Firebird Suite No. 2

ganymede

Liars

Moonbeams

Sacred Rituals

The Difference

The Honor of a Dance

There Are No Phoenixes; Ergo, Ashes Are the End
