Pretium Amoris (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

At what price, love,

the Angel’s sing

 

At what price, love,

the joy it brings

 

At what price, love,

our spirit’s rhyme

 

At what price, love

—the word sublime

 

(The Book Of Prayers: September, 2020)

 

 

Wittgenstein Was Right

 

The sum of all possibility,

true nature of our soul

 

To act upon or take flight from,

virtues to extol

 

What may or may not happen,

to inspire or pretend

 

The choice is ours, the will empowers

—to flee or to ascend

 

(Bryn Mawr College: September, 2020)
