“tenderness
will
always
remain,
look at the
horizon and watch
for a new
day will come…”
Jen Kress
(From her poem “Meraki”)
To inhabit
the world of poetry is to sail a raft on unsteady waves while relishing the vastness
of the sky and savoring the beauty of each moment with a sense of ease and
hope.
To inhabit
the world of poetry is to meet the uncertainty of life with courage, breathing
in the light that keeps oneself strong and balanced.
Jen Kress’s poetry collection is an
adventurous quest for resilience, a poetical oasis where the waters of solitude
and understanding intertwine into a harmony of souls to persevere and look
forward to a new sunrise.
Her personal journey evokes the depths of
inner joy and sadness, merging them into breathtaking stories. Her expressive skills are outstanding; her metaphors evince intimate aspects of
herself, painting the quandaries, struggles and longings of her heart with
delicate precision.
I will be revisiting her poems in search of
new meanings and inspiration.
“This
journey light, to follow through
my tunneled
dreams;
heaven’s
woven map hides your chosen path,
a
constellation, home… picture the stars above,
a blanket
littered with uncharted possibility!”
There may be
no clear answers to life uncertainties and mysteries, but there is poetry…
I thank the
poet for sharing Counting Breaths with me for My Writing Life blog.
If you

Trees at Night.”
Till next
year.
