You sit in silence watching the sun rest over the hill taking in your hands life’s net of pearls one drop, then two – you make something sweet, and seductively secret weaved of moments spent hunting desire and spent hunting destiny a paradoxical quatrain envelops the moment's tranquility providing a glimpse into another aspect of humanity Copyright © 2022 Jeff Flesch All Rights Reserved

Jeff, you always find a way to mix nature, love, sadness and hope. Our styles are very similiar. It is hard not to combine the two together when you love nature like we both obviously do. It brings out the best writing for me. You live in a most beautiful area my friend. Congratulations on your Poet of The Year Award on Spillwords. We should all know soon, best of luck and sending you all the best my friend. Big hugs and love, Joni
