The Pride And The Longing

Kurt Philip Behm

The Pride And The Longing

 

One man’s ‘Old Days’

another man’s ‘New’

Chasing a memory

the pilgrim is due

 

One reminisces

what one only schemes

The pride and the longing

— two sides of a dream

 

(Ardmore Pennsylvania: June, 2025)

 

 

Shades Of Gray

 

Mixing wheat

with the chaff

The good

with the bad

In shadings

of gray

The truth

finds a home

 

Taking shape

from the whole

When shunning

both ends

Polarity’s

vanish

And clarity

— shown

    The first my favorite of the two shows the difference of views is so well done in the old days for one being the new for another. The second is a favorite topic of mine in the grey between black and white. Lovely Kurt and a fave
