Is There (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Is there a truth

  too big to tell

 

Is there a lie

  too big for hell

 

Is there a choice

  that can’t be made

 

Is there a time
  —that can’t be saved

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)

 

 

One Day Beyond Mourning

 

One day beyond mourning, a new sun to shine

 a promise remade—not a cloud in the sky

 

One day beyond mourning, your spirit still warm

your flesh now at rest—on the hill past the barn

 

One day beyond mourning, the bed sheets unfold

 your shadow uncovered—and now mine to hold

 

One day beyond mourning, the sun in my eyes

  new words in my heart—a mockingbird cries

 

One day beyond mourning, my soul free to roam

  your paintings surround me—among them I’m home

 

One day beyond mourning, I walk to the field

 our blanket still hanging—the oak that concealed

 

One day beyond mourning, I reset my sights

  the day I’ll rejoin you—that heavenly flight

 

One day beyond mourning, all will broken free

  my name on the wind—as you call out to me

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)

 

 

 

Each Stroke

 

Giving birth to new feelings,

  life to the unborn

 

Eternity swaddled,

  cradled and warm

 

A labored delivery,

  nibbed forceps demand

 

Prying out a new meaning

   —each stroke of the hand

 

(Plane To Las Vegas: July, 2016)

    Kurt,

    • “Is There”

    Great poem to reflect upon!

    My reflections upon the four couplets...

    *It depends to whom you have to tell it.
    *It depends whose lie it is.
    *There’s always a choice.
    * No! Any time I want saved, it shall so be!
