Kurt Philip Behm

Never A Question

How open is your window,

how tall is your door

 

How wide is your pool,

how slippery is your floor

 

How fresh is your perception,

how broad is your scope

 

How clear is your reflection,

how real is your hope

 

How solid are your friendships,

how many pray tell

 

How strong is your commitment,

how deep is your well

 

How right is your grammar,

how your words become strong

 

How your heart achieves freedom,

—turning verse into song
