Tranquil

by Brittany Zedalis

roaming through this forgotten

wonder of lush green grass and wide

cypress trees, bare feet find smooth

pebbles and soak in cool waters

running rough hands along a

weathered bridge, looking out

over the deepest sapphire of rivers,

widening smile on lips

peaceful is the rush of water,

a hand slips into another, and

they stare into the sunset with

a sense of tranquility

Fire, Fire

by Brittany Zedalis

Flames lick
my skin-
a storm.

I choke-
taken down
in rain.

Clutching
my arms-
cool reality.

The heat-
still burning
my mind.

A Brother's Echo

by Brittany Zedalis

A voice
calls out
in the night, an
echo.

A reminder
of what once
was, and what
could have been.

But is nothing more...
than an echo.

A Work of Art

by Brittany Zedalis

I trace
The lines
On the palm of your hand
The scar on
Your face
The veins
In your neck
Pieces of you
Placed together perfectly
Yes...
Perfectly

Gone, Brother, Gone

by Brittany Zedalis

Wide eyes, chubby cheeks,
Tiny hands, little feet,
Distant,
Distant memory.

Fire, smoke,
Unable to breathe,
Come back to me,
Come back to me.
