“Broken Grass” by Jeff Flesch

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

    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
