The Leaves Turn

Kurt,

ā€˜The leaves turn

Kurt,

ā€˜a lens that won’t focus
—an image beguiled’

What will it take to focus that lens?!

A very interesting and intriguing poem. Had to read it a few times. It really made me think…and that’s a good think.

Thank you for sharing, my dear Poet.

Through The Doorway I Was Shown
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

A great read of an awesome poem.

I believe you grabbed life by the horns…

ā€˜But a key was thrown out to me,
unlocking things I’ve yet to know
Of a still uncertain future,
through the doorway I was shown’
…and
ā€œWhatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.ā€ (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

I believe that you ā€œNever let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.ā€ ( Babe Ruth)

Loved reading this great poem and challenged myself to delve into the wholeness/message of the poem.

Aloneliness
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

I love this writing for obvious reasons. You made me aware of your muse a while ago, but this is the first time I met her in a poem; therefore, I consider this the official introduction.

Many times I crave solitude. I crave that oneness with my thoughts to feel at peace.

ā€˜Aloneliness,
most trusted friend
you that I count on
there till the end’

I’ll definitely be there till the end and hopefully vice versa.

Thank you šŸ™šŸ» šŸ¤—

New Memories Rehearse
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

ā€˜Words mate in the fog
as the letters reverse’

ā€˜Sleep only forgiven
as new memories rehearse’

What great couplets!
You’re an amazing poet, my dear friend.

Your Soul To Repast
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

ā€˜But truth has no time limit
No ticket to claim
One choice will release it’

So true…
we have the power
and the choice.

In The Darkness And Alone
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

ā€˜Is part of me still orphaned there,

I have a suspicion it might be!

Kurt,

The ā€˜feeling’, the ā€˜meaning’…
are all there.

Loved it.

We’re not that old yet! Let’s continue the fight till the light has been completely extinguished.

Set In Stone
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

One of my Dad’s favorite proverbs…
ā€˜ā€¦il lupo perde il pelo ma non il vizio…’
(the wolf loses its fur but not its vice)

ā€˜ The fly’s in the ointment,
the die has been cast’

It’s so difficult to change those feelings. I will forgive; but it’s so hard to forget…no matter how many years have gone by.

I love the way you wrote this, my dear prolific Poet.

Thank you for sharing.

Your Move…
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

This is a good one. šŸ˜‰I’m pretty good at checkers but not as good at chess.šŸ¤”
Great metaphors.

Yes, ā€˜Complexity knighted’
I shall work on my ā€˜Move’!

Thank you for sharing your location. I’ve been there a few times. The first time I went drove from San Francisco to Vegas’s Mandalay Bay. Had a great time.

The Tragic Cost...
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Thank you for remembering some of the best in this memorable poem. I don’t know much about Harry Nilsson, but I will definitely do some research and educate myself. Your written work certainly lends itself to that.

Laura🌻
P.S.- Just learned the sad news about the passing of Meatloaf and Louie Anderson. I became a fan of Meatloaf a few years ago.

Going Home
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt.

• ā€œGoing Homeā€ is
hitting home.
Certainly not welcoming death at this time, but I do like these scripted words,
ā€˜but befriending its shadow
whose blanket I wear
in this carrying wind’

I can almost feel the warmth of that ā€˜blanket’.

Thank you for having masterfully scripted a poem that’s so relatable. Something that only a master of the art can do.
