Mountains Form by Jeff Flesch

I rest easy

in the long, and the short

of the mountains

form

a symbol of strength, and of change

releasing osmosis

upon

the world above, and below

a cascading river of love

and of ambiguity, both of which

you and I

already know

    Jeff’s poetry indulges the mind and spirit to dig into what they have always known. The realization that the significance of existence is much greater than what we experience on a daily basis. Mountains are indeed majestic and strong, nature’s marks of endurance and symbols of gradual change. The rivers flowing from them sustaining life and its sanctity.
    Congratulations Jeff!
