You come in dreams
wearing
a fever-halo of memories
a bounty, and a plight
of humanities consciousness
a dearth of commitment
and of feeling
keeps the planet stuck
spinning
to sounds, lost
and buoyantly star-struck
with illusion
and with the embers of a fire
learning
how
to rebuild notions of love
from hearts
worth saving
among the stars above

Jeff writes of the universe as it dwells within us, and we dwell within it. There’s beauty and hope in the lines of this poem. A reminder that as all seems lost to chaos and destruction, there is so much to salvage from the ruins of past mistakes. Simply knowing that the human spirit is timeless and forever evolving is a reason to build new bonds of love and compassion.
Congratulations Jeff!
