Unnamed poem read and written by Ashton Gustafson
Sometimes it takes a billion stars to get the point across.
They shine the way, call our names, and beg us to come on.
There will be uncertainty on the way to Eternity.
But I believe that up His sleeve Divinity holds beauty.
Sometimes our songs can right our wrongs and say what words can’t say.
When our melodies make jubilee that’s the story of our days.
There will be uncertainty on the way to Eternity.
But when poetry lacks symmetry that’s where you’ll find its beauty.
Sometime it takes a billion storms for God to fill the seas.
Could the same be true for the me and you we call Humanity?
There will be uncertainty on the way to Eternity.
But I believe that up His sleeve Divinity holds beauty.
An artist has no problem occupying, diving into, or even setting sail into the vacant, the open, and the unknown.
Such pursuit of discovery is a beautiful way to unwrap the gift that is called possibility.
Today, may you and your discovery horizons be blessed.

Autumn – By Ashton Gustafson
Ego of the trees burning away,
green to gold to bourbon fade.
Night stays long – the candle’s friend,
a majestic unwind curls spring’s next grin.
So now we may waltz with what sheds in the fall
for there’s no other way to rise through it all.
Grounded in love and making room for the bloom,
Autumn, the first verse of what’s ‘to be continued’.
