From The Pen Within

written by: Jill Sharon Kimmelman

Write from your soul
write because you don’t know how not to
write to nourish your spirit

Write when you soar with unparalleled elation and
when you are engulfed by a sadness so deep…there are no tears

Write for the freedom it promises and
when writing is the only way to scale the walls of your prison

Write about truths
pay no attention to rhyme schemes…line-breaks…genres…
word games…prompts…and syllable counts

Write from sun-up-to-sun-down and-
deep into another dark espresso night

Write because you must…when the choice to not write
will be the certain death of your spirit

THE END OR A NEW BEGINNING? by Cristina Crucianu

I woke up to my grandmother whispering to me: “It’s over. She’s passed.”

Like an automaton, I got up, and I obliged myself to hand in the project I had been hired for before all the frenzy of organizing a funeral began. A calm sky was lazily waking up as if nothing had happened. In the distance, the roosters’ crows were alerting the villagers that it was time to wake up. The crow, accompanied by the incessant barking of neighbors’ dogs, was the perfect alarm system that even the highest alarm systems could not compete with...
