John Gondolf




 John’s “journey of high hopes through life’s extremes”
Of “searching poet’s trek while chasing dreams”,
“Heavy load of life”, eloquently shared,
No inner longings of his soul he spared.

Goodness and Gracious – highlights of mankind,
One would suffice; both truly is a find.
Nuanced, his nurtured words cast far and wide, 
Depth of his vivid vision - verified.
Once his verse “wraps round tightly like a glove
Leaving our lonely hearts” so full of love!
Following your muse – esthetic journey.
