Kurt Philip Behm

Silence Distills (+1)

Writing the lines

one word remains absent

 

To give the verse promise,

new voices to fill

 

Speaking the words,

I pause before ending

 

Taking a breath,

—as the silence distills

Heaven Sent

 

Religion… my writing,

all faith in my pen

 

My savior the words,

—the Muse heaven sent
