Above The Beyond (Something For Laura)
L. B. Mek said:

so very true
(makes sense that we originally created music, before
we ever came to conceptualise letters and words
just wish, our education system was centred on that intuitive musicality of life
more,
than that alphabet we all require, to perfectly annunciate: our creative lies...)
this read definitely hit home, thanks for sharing Kurt

Praesidium
L. B. Mek said:

\'that great divide\'
\'To write and wander
among the spires\'
\'The sand the measure
of all between\'
\'Are your words personal or objective,\'
\'The second has all the letters present

…except ‘I’
\'What’s in my soul
—and unforeseen\'
(forgive my rudeness, dear Poet
but this is how your majestic Poetry
revealed itself to me,
thank you for inspiring my poetic growth: endlessly, incalculably!)

To Always Return (+1)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Definitely for you
‘one time is not enough’.
The more you see,
the more you want to see…
the more you want to listen to those voices that always bring you back.
It is part of your existence.

I truly sense your latest visit in these writings.
You travel out West on your bike and I travel through the pages of ‘Searching For Crazy Horse’. It is my go to whenever you reference your trips out West.

Thank you for sharing.

Kurt,

Your ‘Dreamsleep’ is a gem jammed with the truth. So many with their ‘head in the sand’ and facts be d*****!

Thank you for sharing.

The Indian Sign
L. B. Mek said:

everywhere there\'s a few
\'like minded\' gathering of people
preaching to their own choir
creating an insulated cocoon of a \'safe space\' for each other, only..
you can assume, in short order
\'a pseudo aristocracy will manifest\'
from within that group
and those few, \'chosen\'
will devolve
fighting to keep that taste of power and influence, they now crave..
\'rinse and repeat\'
times millenniums, and spread it like a plague: conquering a planet
and that\'s why
anytime, we humans try to govern ourselves, inevitably
we end-up, sabotaging ourselves...

Sum Zero Sum
L. B. Mek said:

\'The voices of children,
our enemy’s shield\'..
it always, infuriates me
when so-called activist\'s (especially those opportunistically abhorrent, celebs)
scream and shout about things,
they know so little about, because they choose
to dwell in their ignorance, excuses
for their pathetic virtue-signalling actions..
they never want the detailed complexities, just the fast-food
quick fixes...
so they\'ll march against one Nations actions for retaliatory warfare
and yet act all oblivious, when the Opposition
purposely, literally: utilises woman and children, as Shields, for their war mongering Regime...???!!!
If we let it, the absurdity of modernity\'s reality will eat us alive: truly!
But, we were gifted this life and like the generation\'s before us, who also decried this hypocrisy of social righteousness, in this warped reality, of phantom equality in our so-called evolved civility..
But!
we must, find a way to survive
yes we do our best, to create awareness and help those by our side
but we can\'t allow ourselves
to be swallowed-up by the bleakness in our horizon\'s of blanket night,
we must prevail, to get a glimpse
of Aurora\'s streaking forgiveness,
for another chance,
another day
another taste
of this blinked existence, we call life.
(another inspiring set of lines Kurt
had me typing away my feeble reply, as soon as I read that last line..
thanks for sharing, dear Poet)
