by Erin Lucey ’20 Snowflakes fall from the generous sky, Blanketing the grateful ground with their grace and charm. They cover each fear, they hide every regret, they mask every drop of pain, and reveal only the sparkle of the frosted, silvery night. Snowflakes fall from the resentful sky, covering the sorrowful ground […]
by Jonathan Coppe ’18 Is joy more real when it is shared? I seek a soul to share my joy, To wrap in zeal for life and bathe in love Of every precious thing that pulls My cheeks into a smile. To see her smile too—and not for me!— for finding something more to […]
by Kiley McMahon ’20 I have never been in love, but I know what it looks like, feels like, and sounds like. It is appealing on the outside, sweet and content on the inside; nobody can compare to the one true love of your life. Your two hearts beat harmoniously and in […]
by Jay Willett ’20 I won’t lie to you I’m not the most athletic, But the exhilaration of a touchdown or breakaway is won through patience.

Bathe myself in strangeness, under the surge of the blue veritable ocean. Marvels of form and gravity. The moving waters, the enormous avenues, going on and on—sinkin’ deeper, deeper. Taken […]
