The Final Decision (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Divorcing the rational

 freedom began

 

Releasing the spirit

 all can’t—became can

 

One final decision

 to charge and break through

 

The future and past

  left betrothed—and untrue

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)

 

 

Snow Blind

 

Structure comes

 from the classroom

 

Imagery comes

 from experience

 

And it’s hard

 to structure

 

What you can’t

 —see

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)

 

 

 

Wings

 

Facing what I didn’t know,

 the canyon ahead was wide

 

My bridge half built on doubt and fear

 with nowhere left to hide

 

Looking down I saw the past

 looking up all questions why

 

But straight ahead an Angel waits

 —with wings for me to fly

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)

    Kurt,

    ā€¢ The Final Decision

    ā€œDivorcing the rational
    freedom beganā€

    The vision that these words conjure up is incredible! One for the journal!

    ā€¢ Snow Blind

    ā€œAnd itā€™s hard
    to structure

    What you canā€™t
    ā€”seeā€

    Spoken with clarity.
    This is what I call a
    ā€œje ne sais quoiā€
    moment!

    Two very interesting and intriguing gems!

    GREAT writings!

    ~Laura~

      Thanks Laura. My life's focus has been to try and say it ever shorter without sacrificing the meaning.

      Kurt,

      The Angel waited and with its wings I dared to fly!

      An exquisite share to end my day!

      ~Laura~
