The Island Ahead (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

 

Dipping his toe

in the river’s denial,

uncertain of its depth

 

Floating his memories

on ripples of fate,

his deepest secrets kept

 

Refusing to sink

excuses cut free,

his reasons left to buoy

 

Erasing his doubts

 the island ahead

—all sharks turned into Koi

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2022)

 

 

Libertas

 

The present is in your future,

the present in your past

The present a sacred mystery,

its moment to unmask

The present is in your memory,

the present in your dreams

The present neither begins nor ends

—eternity set free

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
