The Valley Awaits

Kurt Philip Behm

Live long enough

and we end up alone

No matter our fortune

no matter our throne

 

Life will have sway

as our journey unwinds

One breath at a time

— our voices unrhymed

    Kurt you speak truth with this poem the longer I live the fewer people I know. Nicely done

      Thanks Soren, I just lost a best friend last Tuesday. He lived in Nashville but we talked
      every day.

          Well done on the pertinence of the truth in the first two lines. Very profoundly true/ and well done on the tone and rhyme and word placement in the structure. Interesting piece. Sincerely, Elizabeth
