'Upon A Midnight Clear' (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Faith,

Reasons Achille’s Heel

Dialectic’s

Lord And Master

Philosophy’s Warden

Academic Invader

Time Imploder

Existing Divine

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2021)

 

 

Checkmate

 

Reason dies without faith

 men but a pawn

to move in set patterns

not seeing beyond

 

Logic and cogence

delude and mislead

 with vision and instinct

left wounded to bleed

 

Reason dies without faith

enslaved to the line

 paper to crumble

One voice to remind

 

Years add together

with hope on the run

belief when left wanting

all thoughts zero-sum

 

(The New Room: December, 2021)

    Kurt,

    Two very meaningful and special writes. Faith is my guideā€¦more today than ever before.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts so cleverly expressed. I especially like the ending of ā€œCheckmateā€ā€¦
    ā€˜all thoughts zero-sumā€™.

    'Years add together
    with hope on the run'
    (do you too, get a shock
    at that grey haired reflection
    every morning, reminding
    our youthful heart's
    there's a reason, we're
    rinsed-out, of all ambition)
    such a poignant write, thanks Kurt
