Kurt Philip Behm

F Stop (+1)

Its focus changes with the light

in angles newly formed

 

Exposing what your fear would hide

in images reborn

 

The camera always sees the truth

its lens encaptures time

 

Each moment frozen then set free

—in search of the sublime

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2023)

 

 

Approaching Storm

 

The graves have been dug

all bugles away

Medals awarded

for valor displayed

 

The soldiers in transit

to homes once so dear

But where is the peace

—when gunfire you hear

 

(Opening Poem To My New Novel: ‘Approaching Storm’)
