The Rainbow Chase

Kurt Philip Behm

Searching

for his palette

the painter

wanders on

Dreaming

of each color

to visualize

his song

Tubes of paint

lie scattered

unsqueezed

their caps remain

In attics

of blank canvasses

with images

— unframed

    And so it is with any effort not attempted or prevented. Poems left in the drawer of the mind never written. A lovely write Kurt

        Another Dreamsleep hit for me, Kurt. This feels like a meditation suspended between the urge to create and the stillness of not-yet. The untouched tubes, the unframed images...they echo like dreams waiting for form. A beautiful poem. 🌹👏

        Thanks TR. So much of life is caught in the waiting room of creation.
