Light Supreme
Is that light that yet breaks through my window? A brightness so profound; dancing on the glass like so; it's begging to be found. The haunting dead of night did thus decline; my watchful eye ever wandering. A new brightness, a joy to call mine; the glorious day ever thundering. Sounds of birds doth yea appear; singing to each other love's gracious song. Their calls distant but seemingly near; to wait until tomorrow to again hear them: strikes me as tragically long. Day calls to me like a formidable pulse of light; and yet it still beckons the dark long night.

My Grandfather's Legacy
My grandfather was born in Tennessee on April 4, 1901; a young Black boy from the country. From what I’ve read from his personal letters, my grandfather had a hard childhood. His mother would beat him mercilessly at a very young age. He never understood why she treated him this way and speaks of his belief that she hated him. My grandfather’s parents divorced when he was only 10 years old. In one of his letters he makes a point to note that his mother did not stop the beating when his father left. In his teenage years he would leave town as a means of escape.

Love
It was a gray day in San Francisco when we arrived at the law offices of Stein and Mullin, LLP. My grandmother had just died the week before and the air was stale. There was a feeling of everything moving in slow motion despite the fact that the world was rapidly falling apart. The front desk staff seemed overly happy for the occasion and we were immediately put on guard. Their effervescence, an insult to our pain.
