The Masque

Kurt Philip Behm

Every book has a hundred messages

  trying to get out

 

Every song has ten inside of it

  waiting to sing loud

 

Every painting has a hidden image

   fighting to be shown

 

And every poem has a secret voice

   —dying to be known

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

    Really love that last few lines. A sublime piece.

  • HangingbyaHalo

    I absolutely love this.

    Every brain will interpret the messages differently. Every voice sings a little different from the last. Every set of eyes will see something previously overlooked.
    And every pen favors different metaphors.

    It’s is perception the changes everything.

      A very Poetic response—lovely, thanks!

      Kurt,

      And every “secret voice”
      will sing your praises...
      And be secret no more!

      ~Laura~
