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!

Thank you so much, and always, Terveen. Mountains are such a source of inspiration. I agree with you about their majesty and strength. I’ve lived around so many in my life, and each one has gifted me something different. So much fun! 😊
