Love and loss, the light within
the dark. A silhouette of humanity
are shadows among the stars.

I am a dreamed reality and seed of possibility—happiness. An awareness of presence. Subtle silence in action, chaos subdued.

I am a pain wayfarer. A choice of love and the companionship of isolation. Alienated and alone, I seek solace in the gift of peace and the sanctuary built upon my dreams.

Depression chose me. It seeks in fun
typically impossible to outrun. Once
the sun dips, darkness sits
on the edge of my bed, wondering
when I’ll come out to play next.

Rainbows speak through stained glass, sparking like diamond sand. A shower of elegance and beauty, a prism of life’s richness. Patterns folded over space and time, the realization of the universe wide.

I am paper thin, wearing a mask conditioned in absence. An act of necessity, desires’ debut and dissolution. I am emptiness, love given and suffering subdued in silence.

I am a flower petal fallen to earth, shattered. A piece in a game, a pawn in a machine. Gears turn, but no one’s home. Silent stimuli, irresistible impulse—manufactured desire. I am aware, sifting through messages of my own repair.

Love, enriched turned soil.
Mind, a splintered battered bole.
Existence reborn.

Tangled weeds thread hope
and despair
through the nub of desire
a sensuous screenplay
evoking memories of you
softened by time
by the wind
and by the telepathy
between two souls destined to begin
again
one moment
mirrors the next
as time becomes irrelevant —
existing
are two
made of one
a shadow, and a prayer
calling down the hopes of another sun

It was great to drop in on a few of your sites recently and read your amazing poetry and other creative works.
This past year, I’ve been super busy, both personally and professionally.
Personally, I’ve taken to traveling and am actually currently typing this blog post in London while my life partner reads upstairs in the hotel we are staying in. It’s been a wild year, full of love, light, and discomfort too, as I’ve been asked to grow more and to grow in new ways, yet all of it has been amazing.
Professionally, I and the newly expanded team are doing well. We are currently creating the next academic year’s work, which requires a lot of strategic thinking and planning.
Though I’ve not been writing much at all, I am planning to begin to write more each week and to also visit the blogosphere as my schedule allows.
I hope you have all been well.
I am sending you all of my love and blessings.
Jeff
