All We Are

By: Anna Forsman

Growing up by ocean’s edge I lift my eyes and bow my head I’m made up of the sea undead Indebted to the hours spent Embedded in the bay’s cool hue The smell of sea, the city view I close my eyes, I think of you Through all the years, I love it here, too

Timeless

Born in rain I borrow your name For this new child’s place I am happy to stay We are grateful for place With our arms full of faith All the words you will say Like our love for this place We are written in stone We are a thousand years old All the light we will throw When our house feels like home

All We Are

By: Anna Forsman

The cracks in these walls Are the rivers of my mind These things happen all the time All the stress, it left these lines Still, I told you we are fine There’s a window, we are light The water laps up with the tide These things happen all the time

Timeless

I like how the songbirds speak into the evenings in Summer Stay here as the Sun is setting The stillest moments are the ones when I’m listening I take a walk up the stairs to find it is all as it is Simple, pure, uncluttered nothingness

Trail Mix

"In winter I get up at night And dress by yellow candle-light. In summer, quite the other way, I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see The birds still hopping on the tree, Or hear the grown-up people’s feet Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you, When all the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, To have to go to bed by day?" -Robert Louis Stevenson
