Kurt,

WOW!!

These ‘Dreamsleep’ are extraordinary. There’s so much I want to say about them…but I shall refrain. I do not want to take away or diminish in any away what they mean to me; however,
I DO want to say with all my heart…
Thank You For Sharing.

One Last Time
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

As I read “One Last Time”, for some reason I felt a certain sadness.

I guess with age and experience we come to realize that we’re
‘not here to save the world’. Hopefully we’ve made a bit of a difference. When we approach a certain period in our life, we’re no longer ‘here to ride the wave’.
That ship has sailed.
As we grow and blossom into our youthful self, we feel we can
‘save the world’.
As we approach our twilight years, we realize what is done is done…enough…che sarà sarà!

‘Time on trial my last denial
—on distant Ronan land’
Is this Ronan, Montana you’re referring to?

When I saw the word in your poem, I was wondering about its relevance…so I thought it might be a place you’ve visited during one of your many travels.

(When I read “Searching For Crazy Horse” for the second time, I was curious to know the locations of the places you wrote about. So I looked them up on a map to have an idea of your travels.)

Breakaway
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Glad to see your ‘Dreamsleep’ post.

After reading your written words,

‘to stab and poke in rich delight
a chance to ride the storm’

‘in search of that elusive net
—still guarded and unwon’,

I sensed a certain familiarity while reading the words. I read them more than once…
and that sense of familiarity got stronger.

Leaving New Tracks (+1)
L. B. Mek said:

\'Born young until myself instilled
as deja vu reminds

Of Autumn snow my heart aglow
—new memory in rhyme\'..
these lines are so subtle and distilled,
they ink-out imagery of the memories I thought I had long forgotten,
a great write, Kurt
thank you!

Breaking Free
L. B. Mek said:

\'gunshots without starter lines
tears before smiles,
learning to forget
forgiving to ascend,
this be that promise
of our lullaby realities, in life..\'
couldn\'t help but try and offer
my feeble verse, in reply
thanks for sharing and inspiring, dear Poet

In Debt To Rene (+1)
L. B. Mek said:

we spend so much time, contemplating
and trying to conceive, the \'who\'
of \'what\' we want out of life, lost
in our choices, spoilt
while assuming the role of victim,
when in actuality
its more than likely, \'who\' we are
was evident from childhood
and we\'ve been working towards becoming and realising, that reality
all long..
but, we don\'t like
incorporating the simplicity of Nature\'s guidance
we want to make it all a journey, dwelling
on questions we\'ve long since answered
choosing to ask for ever-more, futile demonstrations
of proof, fate - hope?
\'Deeper Roots

To bloom
where you’re planted
Flower
on the sill\'..
we arrived into this world, with all the tools necessary
to achieve,
what we can conceive, enough of:
to dream...
(this is your Poetry, at its most subtly Profound
and accessibly relatable,
thanks for choosing to share, dear Poet)..
humbly, I read and learn

Fault Line
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

•”Fault Line”

A ‘fault line’ of life will either make us better or it will make us worse. It will be disruptive and cause changes. Upheavals, especially unexpected ones, may seem unfair, but they’re not always dreadful.

•“The Last Mirage”

Diving in all the way…
‘for better or worse’…
as one of my physicians said!

I did a lot of pondering during the reading of your two intense poems. So much to think about!

Thank you for sharing.

Laura🌻
