Compelled to fight dirty,
in attempts to stay clean
The shadows conscripted,
clandestine and mean
Surprise as an ally,
you stalk and you spy
To vanquish the monster
—declawed and defied
(Villanova Chapel: December, 2021)
Medium Vitae
What is the value
of faith without doubt
Love without hatred,
peace without routs
What is the meaning
of joy without pain
Words without silence,
sun without rain
Into the middle
both sides fall within
Dimension redundant,
all endings begin
The yin and the yang
the long and the short
When hands clasp together
—right left to import
(The New Room: December, 2021)

Good read, Kurt.
Thanks Jerry. Happy New Year!
Kurt
And to you-
Happy New Year
Kurt,
‘What is the value
of faith without doubt’…indeed!
The deeper the doubts,
the deeper the faith.
Two great reads to fulfill
part of my day.
Thank you for sharing your poems.
Laura🌻
Both poems are wonderful.
Thanks, Happy New Year!
'What is the value
of faith, without doubt'
Amen!
(those too scared to question
exist, peeking at life
rather than witnessing
and experiencing it, outright')
some great lines, thanks for sharing Kurt
Thanks LB. Happy New Year and Happy Writing.
Kurt
