Time Is Near (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

The leaves are falling,

birds in song

 

Memory lingers,

tomorrow gone

 

A promise spoken,

solemn vow

 

The present honored,

faith avowed

 

Years enlighten,

age sets in

 

Youth remembered,

deep within

 

Gates now beckon,

pearl’s endear

 

Hearts unburdened

—time is near

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

Change

 

To change the way you act

—change the way you think

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)

 

 

 

The Reckoning

 

The vision intrudes,

stealing ink from my pen

 

A thief in the night,

leaving words that portend

 

A warning’s been given,

its mantle thrown down

 

But truth will write over

—what darkness avows

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania:  April, 2017)
