Living Life to the Fullest

From the Editor
Our last and final issue of the 2021-2022 school year. This school year was amazing and there isn't a better way to wrap it up than with one more issue.
Andre wrote an existential poem that enables the reader to reflect on what they might do with the time they have. Isaiah wrote a fun poem that promotes making the best of whatever opportunities come your way. I wrote a reflective piece on my life in San Francisco and the joy of being able to take in the simplest of things.
Ultimately, another year down the hatch, and more to go. I am looking forward to next year's publications, and the group as a whole has been able to evolve into a promising bunch of writers. I want to make the best of this next year as a Senior, I cannot wait to see where the group's potential goes.
Until the next one,
Evan

...As I continued my descent, I tilted my head back, and I observed the night sky. I inhaled and exhaled deeply. The warmth of my breath crept from my mouth to meet the cool San Francisco air...
Isaiah's work
...I walked up to the Rec Room at 5
Second thoughts, they did override
My mom told me the fee
For my ticket, reluctantly
By the way, name’s Will, Will McBride...
André's work
...Nothing is forever in the world’s array
Of shining stars that burn so bright,
And winged creatures that fly by night...

Editor's note: One of the many wonderful things about art, and about poetry, specifically, is that the good stuff always surprises you a bit -- takes you to a place you did not expect to go ... a drawn line that you thought should curve left curves right instead, a melody that you expected to cadence continues for another measure, a verse that you thought would rhyme doesn't and is all the better for it. This thoughtful and timeless poem by Matt Struyf, '93, does that for me. - Mr. V.-K.
I'm Alive Today
Matt Struyf, '93
It's just another one of those ways
To say I'm alive today
Amidst all of this change
