She Believed in Magic

Crystal Michelle Fallin

She believed
In magic.  Not
Because she was

Naive, but

Because she

Lived through

Times when

Darkness was

All that she saw,

And all life’s lovely

Things were gone.

But her soul was

Wise enough to

Know that its

Survival depended

Upon maintaining

The memory of love,

Light, hope, and all the

Other things that magic

Is made of.

“I Know You as a Painter Knows their Art”

Crystal Michelle Fallin, St. Augustine, Florida 

San Marco Ave., 2018

 YOU MAY BE GONE

You may be gone

but I feel you

when the cool breeze 

brushes by

You may be gone

but I hear you

when the music plays

its last song

You may be gone

but I know you 

as a painter knows 

their art

You may be gone

but I feel you

right here in 

my heart

“Beauty in the Darkness”

Crystal Michelle Fallin, St. Augustine, Florida

Beauty in the Darkness

 Beautiful things happen in the dark,
When the sun goes to sleep,
When the stars give light kisses,
When the moon is a spotlight,
She stayed beautiful,
Even when she was covered 
In the evening darkness..

“Hope” is the thing with feathers

BY EMILY DICKINSON

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.
