I see you in broken grass tall, formless, and looking to eat beside the hourglass we slip through time short in narration and long in susurrations, make the mind believe in love a moments wonder sitting beside you, counting blessings easing tension relating old fears to the waystation time, no time, both sublime with you here by my side Copyright © 2023 by Jeff Flesch All Rights Reserved

I love what Karima said Jeff. Your great talent is how concise your words are and yet the picture you paint is large. Perfectly placed words. Just a truly beautiful piece. The first stanza just pulls you in so quickly, wow, gorgeous. Big hugs, Joni
