Jennifer’s introspective poems explore themes of yearning for a meaningful life, uncertainty of final creation, self-reflection, forgiveness and anticipation of inspiration, exclusively for Different Truths.

yearning 
for a life
filled with meaning
 
***

does a poet
ever know when they’re writing
their very last poem?
 
***
 
I look in the mirror
and see myself looking back
through those same eyes
 
***
 
forgiveness
ebbs and flows
with my heart's bandwidth
 
***
 
I am waiting
for a poem to descend
and alight on my tongue
