Beyond Time (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

There a mountain in my rearview mirror

 a magnet for my soul

 

Pulling on what’s only borrowed 

 its lease to keep me whole

 

There’s a mountain in my rearview mirror

 calling out my name

 

Its winds have blown my heart to rest

 —which time cannot reclaim

 

(Santa Fe New Mexico: February, 2019)

 

The Mask

 

Time is the mask that all memories wear,

 as feelings age within

 

Time is the bridge where eternity walks,

 each footstep to begin

 

Time is a voice spoken only inside

 where denial cannot hear

 

Time is the measure of what’s yet to come

  —in moments far and near

 

(Santa Fe New Mexico: February, 2019)

 

 

Stolen Moments

 

Time immortal, the master thief,

 stealing tomorrow from the past

 

Abducting each moment, all life itself,

 —today within its grasp

 

(Santa Fe New Mexico: February, 2019)

    Kurt,

    Thank you for sharing these two excellent and meaningful poems!

    • “Beyond Time”
    The love for your journeys, past and present, can be felt throughout this write!

    • “Mask”
    This entire poem speaks volumes!
    I particularly like...
    “Time is a voice spoken only inside
    where denial cannot hear”

    I very much enjoyed both shares!

    Happy travels! 🏍

    Thanks Laura. Saying the Rosary at the oldest church in N.America today.

    A very special place! I'll keep you part of it.

      Thank YOU, Kurt!
      So very thoughtful of you to keep me “part of it” while you’re in that “very special place!”
      Blessings to you my dear friend!
      Be well and stay safe!
      ~Laura~
