Beyond My Fear (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

The Sage brought me to the Muse,

 when I was but sixteen

 

Her face familiar, her words estranged,

 my fate caught in-between

 

As years went on she whispered

 and oft times took the lead

 

To guide my wishes past my fear

  —old wounds there left to bleed

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2018)

 

The Shallow Glass

 

Café poseurs,

 internet losers

 

Reflections through

 the shallow glass

 

Virtual wishing,

 dot.com remissing

 

Clicks and bytes

 as the world goes past

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2018)

    Kurt,

    ā€¢ ā€œBeyond My Fearā€
    She ā€œtook the lead to guideā€ your ā€œwishes pastā€ your ā€œfearā€ so that you can continue your search to find yourself ā€˜inside the messages that the Great Chief has left behind.ā€™ ā€œ ā€˜He gave you the power to see his face in all menā€™ ā€.

    This write urged me to go to my bookshelf and revisit one of my favorite books!

    ā€¢ ā€œThe Shallow Glassā€
    Shatter that glass! Take notice and pay attention to this world thatā€™s going by!

    Two super poems! Thank you for sharing! Very much appreciated!

    ~Laura~
