Kurt Philip Behm

Whole Card (+1)

He outlived his father

 to outlive himself

The shadow he chased

—an ace left undealt

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2022)

 

 

Answering The Bell

 

Using the intellect

to understand God

A circle unending

no light in the fog

 

Our mind like a hammer

to pry and to nail

Constrained by our motion

and destined to fail

 

But deep in our essence

that we’ve named the soul

A voice is there calling

a bell waits to toll

 

To ring in tomorrow

with songs of today

Proclaiming the music

—our spirit’s ordained

 

(Beaupre: January, 2022)
