Soundbites: 5-31-2025

Kurt Philip Behm

Self-Owned

 

Remember

the day

you became entitled

to yourself

 

No debts to pay

no last charade

the circle closed

— indwelt

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)

 

 

Reflection

 

Do we just recall

a memory

Or its cause

and its effect

 

Is consciousness

a chain of links

To front load

— or dissect

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2025)

 

 

Beatitude

 

The deeper you question

the more you constrain

God’s true existence

to never explain

 

Loosen your grip

on what holds you back

Surrender to glory

— Divinity’s tack

 

(1st Book of Prayers: May, 2025)

 

 

The Only Thing

 

Winning is always

undefeated

Score

to tell the tale

 

The victory plum

is zero sum

With glory

— to regale

 

(The New Room: May, 2025)

 

 

All Is Now

 

Unplugging tomorrow

recharging today

Conscripting the moment

— inside which we pray

 

(1st Book of Prayers: May, 2025)
