In Resolution's Light
Embracing Strength with Humble Grace
We are so resolute in the face of resolution,
A compass positioned against the turbulent waves
With stoic eyes, we map our route through every storm while gazing up at the morning.
But even as we march with purpose, strength, and integrity, we stop to admire the wide blue sky and the gentle breeze, which serves as a gentle reminder to bend easily.
Because in private moments, a soft hug, a humble and pride-free attitude, and the knowledge that grace is often the source of power must all come from a firm heart.
Every stride we take, we must walk with courage and confidence, welcoming both the light and the shadows, since humility and resolution together yield insight, love, and true nobility.
So let us journey with compassion and determination.
With open minds and humble hearts, for it is inside this concoction that our truths will be liberated and our souls will find peace.

FPS: The Last Flame Challenge Winners
Welcome to our first Winners Announcement of the year and to the final challenge in the Fall Poetry Series. The Last Flame invited writers to sit with endings, using fire as a central image to consider what remains when something burns out: ash, warmth, memory, silence, or the faint promise of what comes next. The strongest pieces treated endings as gradual rather than sudden, allowing them to flicker, dim, and linger.

Your poetry is so powerful, you put into words exactly what I struggle to convey.
I really enjoyed reading it. Reading all your writings makes me want to be a writer too. I’m impressed
Your words are very powerful and educative. The gentle breeze and turbulent waves serve as a gentle reminder to bend easily, despite the stoic eyes that guide us through every storm. We must walk with courage and confidence, welcoming both light and shadows, and embracing humility and resolution to find insight, love, and true nobility. I enjoyed reading every word in your poem, what a talent. Keep sharing with us Dr. Jay.
