Tomorrow's Masquerade

Kurt Philip Behm

I thought perhaps to steal the myth

and hoard away the dream

 

Mirages fade with pretense lost,

things never what they seem

 

A future darkness redefined,

the past still yet to know

 

Intention vested—moments spent

with nowhere left to go

 

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)

 

 

Fall's Release

 

Out there alone,

my thoughts zero-sum…

the coyote’s lonely howl

 

I search for redemption

through cactus and sage…

the silence of an owl

 

Winter births Summer,

its dream comes alive…

the bear announcing Spring

 

In thermal forgiveness,

a following storm

—the hawk now on the wing

 

(Dreamsleep: April, 2021)

    'Mirages fade with pretense lost,
    things never what they seem

    A future darkness redefined,
    the past still yet to know'..
    'we are not! our mirage of despairing thoughts
    we are: those thought's, we act upon
    for when we act, we but give choice a voice
    but if we rush - to act, we need not have began
    for who are we but our misunderstandings, overcome...'
    your words have inspired some of the better lines I have penned recently, and I for one am so grateful that you continue to share dear poet,
