Whispering Still

Kurt Philip Behm

Shepherds

of echo  

sirens

that call

Masters

of legend

trapped

in the Fall

 

Moonlight

on ice fields

whispering

still

Voices

stay buried

destiny’s

will

 

Sunlight

awakens

mountains

that sigh

Hidden on

summits

new answers

there hide

 

But with

 every Spring

a melting

ensues

Flowing

life’s message

recalled

— and renewed

 

(Memories Of Absaroka: May, 1997)

    Wow! Love the pastoral and season imagery to show change, progress and growth in life. Well done, my friend. Really enjoyed this. 🌹👏

  • sorenbarrett

    A metaphor for the season or maybe the season a metaphor for the nature. Very nice

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Thanks. The rhythm of nature and life itself is first a departure
      and then a return.

    • Mourgana of the Fey

      This is almost like a blessing of sorts to not only the earth and the Earthly but the Other worldly energies, the poem opens in such strong images that I am almost transported beyond the mists of times. Much enjoyed this piece!
