Becoming The Dream

Kurt Philip Behm

Today

I unlocked

a new window

 

One

I had never

opened before

 

Air

rushing in

calling me back

 

Voices

familiar

yet foreign to name

 

And

as I passed through

that new window

 

Leaving

behind

what used to be me

 

Losing

my shadow

to futures long past

 

Reaching

for something

—becoming the dream

 

(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)

    More fluid and "natural" than your usual tight diction. I like them both. This one is fragile and sensitive.

    Dear Kurt,
    So glad you penned this ā€˜Dreamsleepā€™. Itā€™s difficult for me to find the words to express how I felt/feel reading and rereading ā€œBecoming The Dreamā€.
    All I can say is that itā€™s one of my favorites. Kudos to you my dear Poet.
