When at last the little bird
Finds shelter from the storm,
Can’t flap her wings
Can’t try to sing
Still cold despite the warmth.

About the Contributor
Lauren Nagy, Literary Editor
Lauren is a junior at Freehold High School, eager to be entering her second year as a writer for The Colonial's literary magazine and her first year as an editor of the magazine. An avid reader, she is also a multi-instrumentalist and enjoys drawing miniature portraits when she can find the time. Despite her place in the Medical Sciences program, she foresees a career in neither medicine nor science. Her passion lies in the creative world, and she hopes to spend her days writing poems and songs, telling stories, and watching the seasons change. If she wrote a novel that one day became a widely beloved classic, that would be pretty nice too.
