Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Reach for Eternity

      Reach for the eternal urged my brain
         Beauty’s a battle; kisses, marathons
       
      Butterflies flee their cocoons, wings wet in June
         A love song’s a tease, waning with the moon…

      Shouts surreal overwhelm eternity 
         ~ staggered by uncertainty

CayCay Godwin June 13, 2025 at 2:37 AM Profound from top to bottom and all around. I read it 3 times, just cause I felt the urge to do so, and it just got more and more profoundider. Good write, Gershon (hope all is golden). Love, CayCay Gershon Wolf June 14, 2025 at 8:50 PM 3x read = 'profoundider,' eh? That's quite the word there, CayCay. Smiles, gw

Beryl Edmonds June 13, 2025 at 2:28 AM Gershon, don’t reach for eternity too soon, spend some time with the stars and the moon… Beryl Gershon Wolf June 14, 2025 at 8:51 PM OK. Sounds reasonable, Beryl. Thanks for the advice. ~ gw
