First Breath (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Jumping in

  I shut both eyes

  my heart lay open wide

 

A first hello

 my last goodbye

 to logic ill applied

 

Choosing an entry

 frees all to move

 the first breath to a song

 

Getting out

 my mind rejects…

 forever pushing on

 

The ending shatters

 once breaking through

 as time cuts loose its grasp

 

That first step forward

 past my fear

   —a die forever cast

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)

 

The Crown

 

Poetry…

 the most regal of all gifted language

 

Prose sitting as handmaiden

 —to each verse sublime

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2018)

    Kurt,

    That first step is an onerous one!

    Kurt,

    SUBLIME is the perfect adjective to describe “The Crown”! (In my opinion)

      When words become MORE than a collection of letters...

      • Laura🌻

        ...and that is exactly what I’m absorbing as I read your amazing writings!

          So kind, thanks
