Highway 93 Revisited
L. B. Mek said:
someday, if I continue to strive
I\'ll have earned the capacity and opportunity to write like you, wise Poet
and that day, when the cursor is blinking away
after my final word has found, its rightful place, I hope
I remember these words I write today
and in doing-so, pay homage
even for that momentary, melancholic - breath
to all those, that help guide me
in this endless, poetic journey...
(a Brilliant set of write\'s, Kurt!
that second poem \'18kt memories\', reads like an epitaph they would have thrown-in, at the Poet\'s corner, when Tennyson and those of his ilk got their grand celebratory funerals)

Real Time
L. B. Mek said:
between consequence and regret, exists our opportunity: for action..
between, tomorrow and yesterday,
exists our capacity: to experience..
sometimes, we need reminding
this moment, belongs to neither
and yet connects us, to both
our past and future
a bridge we need to grasp earnestly, desperately: willingly!
(thanks for sharing Kurt)

Time\'s Gauntlet
L. B. Mek said:
as I see it
\'They\' bequeathed us their Genius
for us to lean-on, knowing
we\'ll need it!\'
(these words you weaved, work on so many levels
personally, my initial interpretation
took me to our strained relationships with our muses or inspirations,
\'Searching for ideas
We challenge
—with voices from the past\')
a great shorty, succinct and unassuming
but imbued with so much depth, a true showcasing of layered poetic brevity

Kurt,
‘Tis wise and prudent
to heed the
‘voices from the past’…
‘the legends’.
So much history to interpret and understand between the white spaces of your written gem.

The Moment Returns
Laura🌻 said:
Kurt,
• “The Moment Returns”
• “Leaving With The Sun”
• “Guardian Age”
• “Heaven\'s Gate”
I’ve enjoyed reading your Dreamsleeps.
Is it the subconscious getting messages through…the unpacking of what is happening at a deep inner and as yet unconscious level?
Upon continuing your journey, you’ll be leaving a little bit more of YOU in those majestic mountains and valleys.
Godspeed my dear poet.

The Moment Returns
L. B. Mek said:
oh to be wild and free, galloping carelessly
oh why did I have to stub my toe, trying to act all carefree
if only
there was a middle ground of temperate acceptance
we could excavate from within and help, curate
a small sense of serenity, in our everyday reality...
\'Tomorrow in the barn,
A horse running free\'...
Amen!
(profound wisdom
worded so accessibly poetic
thank you Kurt)

Leaving With The Sun
L. B. Mek said:
\'tickets for an escape shelter
in the middle of a deserted, cloud
wings spread wide, son by my side
and I warn him endlessly, knowing
he\'s tired of my voice
\'not too, high
nor too low
keep your dreams, sailing
in that middle, where
you\'ll find safety, hiding
in amongst, the majority herd\'...
as Aurora, opens the gates
I check our wax layers
one last fateful, time!\'
(what can I say my friend
your brilliance has inspired me again
actually your write, originally took me
to Tracy Chapman\'s song \'Fast Car\')
\'You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we\'ll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
Won\'t have to drive too far
Just \'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living\'

really liked the first one
sometimes I read my scribbles

A Blacker Black (+1)
Laura🌻 said:
Kurt,
• “The Blacker Black”
Are we brave enough to answer the call?
• “Before The Beginning”
The journey that began
as a dream continues its magnetic pull to where one is destined to be.
In reading your penned words, I’m so fascinated by their powerful pull/effect they’ve had upon yours truly. An incredible experience.
Thank you.

Kurt,
An interesting and intriguing poem which I enjoyed reading and inspired me to give a lot of thought to the following…
•getting to know ‘the people’ I don’t…
why not?
•feeling ‘the things’ that I can’t…
why not?
•be not what your nature foretells…
why not?
•be what convention forbids…
why not?
•‘love without borders or fear’…
why not?
All daring and tempting,
I fearlessly say.

Unlimited verses concealing
‘the moments most precious’…
… ‘tis our truth to reveal.
Should we or shouldn’t we? Hmm…
Our decision to make.

Between The Lines (+2)
L. B. Mek said:
agree with you on so many levels
admittedly, we are creatures of instinct
even after much consideration
we mostly work our way back, to rely
on our first impressions..
I think Might/Power, in and of itself
can never be vilified, so acquiring it
is essential, its just
how we choose to utilise it, that defines
whether we\'re branded heroes or villains..
(such an intriguing read
