Kurt Philip Behm

Whenever You Love ...

Anything you do

is like what you’ve done

Anything you find

is like what you’ve found

Anything you say

is like what you’ve said

Anything you dream

is like what you’ve dreamt

 

Wherever you roam

forever afar

Whatever you say

forever you are

Wherever you look

forever you see

Whatever you pledge

forever you mean

 

If ever you wander

the world at your feet

If ever you daydream

the world is complete

If ever you dance

the world is your stage

If ever you write

the world is your page

 

Whenever you ask

the questions reseed

Whenever you reach

the distance besieged

Whenever you wish

the future at dawn

Whenever you love

— the darkness is gone
