The Distance (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

We anticipate the future

 —by remembering the past

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

Where Dreams Have Laid

 

My writing conceals a deeper truth

  than common sense abides

 

Each word unwraps a higher sense

 than fame or fortune buys

 

Every breath I take, the future staked

 the moment crowned as King

 

All beds remade where dreams have laid

 —the present everything

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

The Freedom Within

 

Your ideas have merit,

 that your words can’t support

 

Your spirit is strong,

 but your language is weak

 

Your eyes are wide open,

 while your tongue remains tied

 

Your voice now enslaved

  —to the freedom within

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

 

 

Write, Sing, See, And Feel

 

Write your way out

  of a book

 

Sing your way out

 of a song

 

See your way out

 of the darkness

 

Feel your way out

 —of what’s wrong

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

    Kurt,

    VERITAS!

    So beautifully ā€˜spokenā€™!
    It is because of ā€œrememberingā€ my past that I look forward to my future...whatever that shall be!

    Iā€™m trying to be on my best behavior!šŸ˜‰

    ~Laura~

          Thanks, you're very kind as usual!

          You too, thanks!

          I had to read these a couple of times, out of sheer excitement. I really enjoy reading your work, because it's seldom seen that someone weaves words like this. Most poets write about specific things, and give them a definite description while also trying to describe them a little too well.
          You simply take the words, and carve a path through reason with what you write. It's so cool to see, you have no idea.
          Thanks for this, Kurt.
          Well done once again.

            Nicholas: You've summed up eloquently exactly what I try to do.
            Your comments really set you apart and are most appreciated.

            Thanks again

            Kurt
