Joyous Epitaph (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Walking on His

good side,

each step was placed with care

 

My direction set,

intention met,

new words to light the air

 

Looking back

I said goodbye,

all strings there left untied

 

Hands firmly placed

in His embrace

—eternity inscribed

Joni's Circle Game

 

The older I get

the more I know,

everything starts as a prayer

 

The older I get

the more I’m indebted

to a voice that I can share

 

The older I get

the surer I am

that life begins and ends

 

The older I get

the richer the words

—that spoken live again

 

(The Book Of Prayers: September, 2020)

 

 

 

Beyond The Grave

 

I get along with

my father now,

better than when he was alive

 

The walls have dismantled,

the barriers down,

a clear vision to inside

 

The excuses we made,

 a pride that forbade,

here buried in the ground

 

As our spirits conjoin

to sail on the wind

—each other we have found

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2020)
