Time's Gauntlet

Kurt Philip Behm

Searching for ideas

necessary to our existence

from legends

We challenge

the future

—with voices from the past

    Kurt,

    ‘Tis wise and prudent
    to heed the
    ‘voices from the past’…
    ‘the legends’.

    So much history to interpret and understand between the white spaces of your written gem.

      as I see it
      'They' bequeathed us their Genius
      for us to lean-on, knowing
      we'll need it!'
      (these words you weaved, work on so many levels
      personally, my initial interpretation
      took me to our strained relationships with our muses or inspirations,
      'Searching for ideas
      We challenge
      —with voices from the past')
      a great shorty, succinct and unassuming
      but imbued with so much depth, a true showcasing of layered poetic brevity

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Very kind. Thanks L.B.
