This poem the opposite of the usual passion when young that burns out and drives people apart later in the relationship. I love the positive turn on this. Nicely done.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is one powerful collection, my friend. Every piece cuts straight to the point without wasting a word, and together they build a compelling meditation on integrity, truth, and endurance. Wonderful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Benediction\'s Song
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this really grabbed me, my friend. There’s a prophetic current running through these four pieces that keeps calling the reader back to integrity...not just what we believe, but how we live it. That thread held me from beginning to end. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this really moved me. The entire sequence carries a quiet contemplative spirit, and \"Leaving the last of our verses unfinished\" especially resonated with me. There\'s humility in letting wonder remain wonder instead of trying to resolve everything. Beautiful collection, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Today Kurt I was struck by the last poem indeed that is the question we all search for the answer to. Some find it in religion, others material gain. Well written

Kurt, I really enjoyed both of these...one wrestles with the misuse of what is sacred, while the other celebrates voices that have shaped generations. Different paths, yet both leave me thinking long after the last line. Wonderful writes, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, what a powerful metaphor. From flattening the house to leaving everything mired in mud, the tornado becomes an unforgettable picture of destructive thoughts we struggle to keep at bay. That final image of our ears granting them entry is especially haunting. Really enjoyed this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is one heck of a poem, Kurt. Spare, rhythmic, and relentless in its questioning…it never gives you the answer, just keeps pressing until you have to sit with it yourself. Beautifully done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a wonderful analogy we do crawl backwards either attempting to in time through not letting go or redoing what has not worked in the past. Well done my friend.

Kurt, I absolutely enjoyed this. The movement from quiet reflection into confidence unfolds so naturally, and the whole piece carries an uplifting energy without ever feeling forced. It left me with the sense that creativity has a way of carrying us beyond the limits we place on ourselves. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, what a powerful set of poems. I love how each one stands on its own while quietly building toward that final celebration of curiosity, creation, and bringing hidden things into the light. That closing piece is a beautiful place to leave the reader. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, “Just not being wrong / will not / make you right” really stopped me in my tracks. What a deceptively simple observation…and one that applies far beyond the page. Wonderfully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
