The moon, a placid
sea, reflecting back
a mantra
of meaning
watching the sun set
along a coast, depleted and
dry
tears leak
from porous eyes
reflecting back
a mirror
of vastness, and of limitation
infinite being
of love
always, and forever seen

Jeff’s writing inspires hope and comfort, mirroring the emotions evoked when witnessing a brilliant sunset at the seashore. There’s much to contemplate as nature displays its own moods through its elements, obeying the dictates of time, transitioning like us humans. There’s much to reminisce, joys and sorrows, and the knowledge that as beings our spirits are limitless. Can we dive in deep enough to experience the inner bliss?
Congratulations Jeff!
