Kurt Philip Behm

A Deaf Ear (+3)

Too craven to take his own advice,

he stumbled over time

 

A distant echo of what he proclaimed

—an alien unrhymed

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)

 

 

Spoiled Grapes

 

Those who never take advice,

insist on giving it

 

To offer wine that never aged

—from empty barrels drawn

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)

 

 

 

 

Turned Around

 

The wheel of life,

the wheel of death,

Involution breaks their hold

 

To turn our

consciousness inward

—and directly know the Soul

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)

 

 

With Every Dawn

 

Wiping the tears from eternity’s past,

placing the future on ice

 

New memories lie frozen, suspended in time

—to melt with each morning’s respite
