Selected Verses & Stanzas
From Volume 1: Poetry & Art
Reflections written by Jacob Estell, accompanied by original studio audio recordings.
Vol. 1 Poetry & Art🌹
Space Dust
The universe is expanding And I'm So far from you Red and shifting In the same gravity And I'm indistinguishable from Dust's Whirling solitude
You spin free In orbit Mindfully mending Mindful spaces I crash and bump Knocked Clumsy and uncomfortable Flung out On an infinite journey With wish in tow To be the spec of dust That you call out for

Vol. 1 Poetry & Art🌹
Day Moon
Queen of the night caught Outrageously basking In the morning sunrise Showing all of her dignity No blemishes to title No rebranding to acknowledge No modesty in presentation Raw fullness on display
Does night know you as well As she ought to, thinking That all this was hers only Never seeing you as Day's accompaniment Watching you vanish into blue Over the tree tops this morning A final haze A new perspective

Selected Verses🌹
The Workers
Buzz buzz The sounds of the honey bee Comes to make honeycomb And fill its cup
The flowers sing as she comes To visit
The helper bee Makes merry
Everywhere she goes
