"pausing to breathe
fireflies come in a whisper, a wide grin
cascades over the clouds, revealing
the stars' hearts."

It draws the reader into the connectedness between feelings and experiences in/with/among who we are and are becoming.
Jeff Flesch's talented gaze at human brokenness and the joy seeping
through love and life, lifts the reader through nature's lens unto fervent hope.
One of my many favorites from this adept collection resonates with this aspect of nature's parabolic lens; a lens that reveals what lies in one's heart, bubbling up ever so gently, through a walk among the trees.
I found the following a summative glimpse into the poet's perspective, which I think the reader will enjoy. That nature is a reminder of the primal nature to which all life belongs. It is that place of respite from the shackles of the everyday grind.
Therefore the line in "Self Bloom" which reads: "I dance to the tune of the moon learning more about nature," does that for me. What imagery and solace abounds in that swath of poetry!
The reader will not be disappointed (I think) with "Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow: Poems by Jeff Flesch" either as a companion at the end of a day, or as an early morning meditation song.
Overall, I relished reading these poems as a "dance" to the tune of nature's heart song
wrapped in hugs.



The words, yes, the words!
The author's words recalibrate heart and soul, and if I had to choose just one poem to encapsulate what I mean, it would be “The Ocean’s Rocks.” I love the ending line, “love forms the center of our poetry.”
There is much sorrow in Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow by Author Jeff Flesch, but the author finds a way of stirring us out of that dark place and into the love that abides in nature. Kudos! As we all know, love is the thing that makes the journey whole and worth it.
The poems are short, but each packs a beautiful cadence in the brevity and simplicity of the author’s vocabulary. And the freedom in the lineation of free verse poetry added to its charm— giving me time to visualize. This ‘permission to pause’ endeared me to this poet’s crisp style.
Each poem ends in a blissful place which translates to each ending putting me in a better place.
So glad I purchased the printed format. Touching it transports me to a good place.
In closing, it was hard to read this lovely poetry collection and not nod in agreement: the world would be a better place if we could all see through Author Jeff Flesch’s eyes. I cannot wait to read more by this author.
5-star. I highly recommend it—Selma in Japan.
