Aether Defends

Kurt Philip Behm

Anticipation ends

as creation begins

Before chasing the words

you must first know the wind

Direction predestined

on zephyrs ordained

Each gust but a phrasing

of verse unproclaimed

 

A breeze or a tempest

in a cyclone of hail

In sunshine or clouded

they come to regale

Those moments that matter

that time would suspend

Once spoken eternal

— and Aether defends

    So true Kurt a word spoken can not be taken back. An excuse can be made forgiveness asked but never taken back. Well said

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    This is beautifully mythic, Kurt...airy and elemental, yet weighted with meaning. I love how you let wind become language, breath become destiny. That closing line gives it a kind of sacred finality. More glorious gold Dreamsleep. 🌹👏

    Again, much appreciated TR.
