    A.D. Aliwat
    “The last captain called to sea again
    Sails intrepid forward
    The waves they rock
    But he cares not
    He need only follow the stars

    Looking down at that compass
    Would just lead him astray
    His great old vessel
    Done in by monsters, maelstroms,
    Tidal waves
    Foundering toward lost Atlantis

    But by ancient stars
    Burning oh so bright
    And sails high and strong
    He’ll catch the gale
    That will take him there
    Out where he belongs

    Not a distant shore
    But heaven’s door
    One with the sublime
    Another bright light
    In the starry night
    Shining with
    True greatness”
    ― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

    Melody Lee
    “My hair smells of oceanic wind
    My eyes are two starfish
    The charming, turquoise sea
    is seducing me
    The rhythms of the calming
    Crashing waves are my guide
    Omnipotent, almost holy,
    They seek to cleanse my polluted soul
    Here, by the seductive sea,
    I am unshackled. I am free.
    I am me.”

    “The moon is a loyal companion.
    It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
    Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
