Lecld Kindly Light Marilyn Bond TT WAS a beautiful day. The first signs of spring were beginning to appear. Birds flew from tree to tree, searching for twigs with which to build their nests. Little green buds, showing the first signs of life, peeked through the earth's surface, exposing themselves to the warm sun. The huge trees, tired from the long winter, stretched their branches skyward. On this day, when all living things reached forth for re- newed life, death and destruction came to my village. Like a swarm of locusts, they came from the north, destroying all in their path. We tried to defend ourselves but to no avail, for we were unarmed and no match for their machines. Slowly they marched. through the village. l watched their cold, hard, expression- less faces, scanned their drab uniforms and modern Weapons with hate in my heart. What right had these foreigners to be in my country, murdering, burn- ing, plundering? Life after this was just a horrible nightmare that l feared would never end. The soldiers occupied our homes, ate our food, molested our women, and killed scores of people to punish one. Then, one night as I lay in bed, f had a dream, a dream that l had gone to America with my family, and there l had found ali the freedoms that l had iost when the village was taken over. Chl lf only we could escape from the village and flee to unoccupied terri- tory. With this thought l finally feii asleep. 12 The next morning, my good friend, Ludevit Ollarek, notified me that, on the night of Iune seventh, We were go- ing to try to escape. l-le told me his plan, and, though I realized that it was very risky, l toid him that f would be at the meeting place at the appointed time. As the day of the escape ap- proached, tension and fear mounted within me. l knew that anyone in his right mind would not attempt to escape in such a way, for certainly most of us would be killed. But the possibility of survival and the opportunity to breathe free air again surpassed my fear of death. The seventh of Iune finally came, and l nervously made sure that my wife and child were dressed warmly, for it Was a cold, bitter night. There was no moon, and the darkness of the night was in our favor. We took only the clothes that we wore and whatever small valuables we had. Slowly, we edged our way in the shadows to the woods that surrounded the northern half of the town. There, the rest of my friends and companions were waiting. As soon as everyone arrived, we moved into the woods. The tall, dark trees prevented any light from enter- ing, and strange creatures, scurrying back and forth, constantly alarmed us, for there was always the chance that a patrol might be in that vicinity. We marched on for hours, lighting our way with small torches, and, though the noise of the woods startled us, its mo- ments of stillness preyed on our over- wrought nerves. Finally, we came to a clearing, at the far end of which was a body of water and a small freighter. We had gotten word through to the underground of our escape, and Ludevit's brother, from the adjacent province, which the soi-

all Kaniega The garrlenfs fragrance this morning in May Has a distinctive odor which leads you astray, For set in a Corner far back in the yard, A dried red eamelia struggles to bloom toward Cod. The moisture and warmth. the air holds so low ls a burden the flower tries not to show. For so rnany years this ground she has held, Steadfast be her roots coming up ever proud. She was never picked for color or beauty But remained erect as is a queengs duty. And now there were young ones just like herself, Seeking roorn in the soil to break through and sproul. She would move her old roots and make room for them For a garden should hold more than one stern. And the dew would still lay on her -velvety leaves, Giving life as it would to a hungry tree. What if a cameliu is lifeless with age, A flower gains beauty with each passing day. Virginia Schnitzlein
