Deeper Roots (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

You can burn a book

but not its truth

Flames no match

for time’s reproof

 

Planted deep

below the lime

Its seeds will flower

— where light to shine

Far & Near

 

Arm’s length

from logic

Arm’s length

from structure

Arm’s length

from physics

Arm’s length

from math

 

Arm’s length

from psychology

Arm’s length

from biology

Arm’s length

from heredity

Arm’s length

from creed

 

Armored

with feeling

Armored

with prescience

Armored

with insight

Armored

with light

 

Armored

with vision

Armored

with sentience

Armored

with gratitude

Armored

— with love
