Glory Unsung (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Victory is a song unwritten,

whose words beget the score

 

With truth in play, all time relayed,

past battles, future wars

 

Yesterday winless, tomorrow tied,

the moment zero sum

 

The hour prescient, each second dear

—glory still unsung

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)

 

 

Love In Ashes

 

A distant scream,

the future cries,

our past to burn

unclaimed

 

Predictions simmer,

forecasts stir,

denials rage

enflamed

 

All promise broken,

hearts on fire,

reasons singed with

pain

 

With love in ashes,

hope to scald,

and freedom left

—in shame

 

(Dreamsleep: October, 2019)

    Kurt,


    Yes, “each second dear”...
    ...true and powerful.
    One never knows from one second to the next!

    ~Laura~
