POETRY : SECOND PLACE ( TIE )

Theresa Arcega

Cold floor underfoot No daylight at the sill Coffee is a welcome scent Rising is pure will .

Arriving before the sun To be a face of hope For many … or just one A spark to light a room

Purpose , like a beacon Leading forward Into storms and calm Hour after hour … pushing Then again , The Alarm .
