Immolatio
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Great analogy, Laura. It seems many of the greatest artists
were at times the most tortured.

\"Remembering Van Gogh\'s ear\"....

Immolatio
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Iā€™ve been reading and rereading ā€œImmolatioā€!

Michelangelo Buonarrotiā€™s vision of him painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling keeps popping in my head and how he reluctantly accepted that commission!
Perhaps itā€™s because I just finished reading a book about him and also remembering the film, ā€œThe Agony and the Ecstasyā€!

My Real Father
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Thanks Laura, my Grandfather saved my life. He died in 1974 the
week before I got married. I\'ve missed him every day since.

I\'d give all the writing back for one more day with him....

My Real Father
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Grandfathers are a blessing!
This beautiful poem resonates of the relationship my dad had with his grandfather. My dadā€™s father abandoned his family when my dad was five years old. He went to Argentina and never returned. My great grandfather raised my dad along with his brother! He certainly did a great job!
I enjoyed this write very much.

Ooh you can see my spiritual incongruity!
We never want to give away or lose the beautiful soul of I because that indvividual me makes us so human! Thanks for reaffirming our cosmic connection! MLH

Sleeping With The Muse (+1)

I think looking back, Hemingway, Pound, Fitzgerald
and maybe even Gertrude Stein would agree.

Kurt,

Maurice Chevalier loved his art and his audience!

Un artiste merveilleux!

I remember some of his songs and movies very well. The first line of your poem reminds me of ā€œMon Dieu, Quel Plaisir De Vieullirā€...one of my favorites!

Laura (Muse) woke me from a sound sleep last night with this.

As I was dictating it into my I-Phone, I knew she sent me something
good.

Thanks for reading.

Eternity\'s Wings (+3)

Kurt,

A heavenly read...

ā€œTo fly unabated

an uplifting, unstoppable
feeling of freedom is begotten!

The Future Clear
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

A great one!
Subconsciously it is not easy as we think...
to be in charge of oneself.

We reap what we sow!
Letā€™s ā€œhopeā€ the price is not too heavy.
Thereā€™s that word ā€œhopeā€ again!

Have a good night.

~Laura~
