My friend (and incredible songwriter and musician) Jeff Saphin wrote a poem for me tonight based on this photo — which is a self-portrait I took after teaching my workshop at the Firefly Festival. It’s been a long while since someone has written a poem for/about me (or my image). I have to admit, it feels nice.

The Eyes are Jewel like and Marbelous,
The sun shone in them on them thus.
The bright and glassine glistened gaze,
In a blink of Holly’s Day…

OM — Jeff Saphin

Thanks, Jeff!
