Trails End (+1`)

Kurt Philip Behm

Surrender a comfort,

ambition rebuked

Content in my history,

old passions to suit

 

New mountains stay virgin,

those summits I’ve climbed

All truth in reflection

—whose peace I now find

 

(The New Room: March, 2021)

 

 

 

From The Rooftops

 

The more I figure something out,

the less the words impact

 

When trading dreams for cogent schemes,

the verse comes weak and flat

 

The more I chase the clouds away,

the clearer are the doubts

 

That misty haze around my gaze,

whose whisper—now a shout

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)

    Brilliant!
    still, my friend: we continue to strive
    in the hopes that someday
    we too, may prevail..
