Voices Silenced (+3)

Kurt Philip Behm

Rushing waters,

bleeding hearts

 

Autumn winds,

the past departs

 

Voices silenced,

the coming rain

 

Ice forming

—to freeze the pain

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2019)

 

 

The Devil's Smile

 

A pat on the back,

smoke up the rear

 

Shake with both hands

—perdition is near

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2019)

 

 

To Rebegin

 

As you age and days get shorter,

do you reach out for the source

 

Whether family, friends, or lover,

is the pull a constant force

 

Is the attraction of returning,

going home to shed your sins

 

The final stage in your progression

—to refresh and rebegin

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)

 

 

Past That Place

 

If words were notes upon a score,

would the melody play beyond…

 

Each phrase a chord, each line a hymn,

each paragraph a song

 

If words could sing harmonic,

  as their letters drift away

 

Would music take you past that place

—words now force you to stay

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
