Life Or Death (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Does your good

 outweigh the bad

 

Is the balance

 happy or sad

 

Is your intention

 right or wrong

 

Does your prayer

 turn into song

 

Does the blame

 weigh down your heart

 

Can your light

 outshine the dark

 

Can the joy

 exceed the pain

 

Does one word

 your soul reclaim

 

Will His grace

 forgive your sins

 

Will new life or death

 —begin

Of You And Me

 

There was a time when I was worth knowing

 before the pain took over

 

There was a time with joy overflowing

 my wishes steeped in clover

 

There was a time you knew unfurled

 my love abounding free

 

There was a time when all the world

 —was made of you and me

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)

    Kurt,

    Many questions to answer.
    An easy task it is not!

    However, I must admit
    that the final question
    was not a burden at all
    because...

    New life will begin in death!

    ~Laura~

    Amen!

      The usage of these words is undeniably first rate...

      ...“my wishes steeped in clover”...

        So kind, thanks!

        These are two very nice poems. I really enjoyed your reference to Faith in the first one. Faith that saves souls.

          Thanks WC. Belief, in all its forms, is a big part of what I
          write about.
