Caught In The Glow

Kurt Philip Behm

Do you like

knowing

or the idea

of knowledge

The pretense

of perception

or a wellspring

sublime

 

Political

correctness

or the search

for a moonbeam

Relighting

your way

as you glow

— in its shine

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      The appearance of reality versus what's real.

      • sorenbarrett

        Real a most interesting theoretical concept

          An old Cowboy in rural Alberta taught me the difference.

          Some people hide who they really are in order to try and be what they think they are expected to be, rather than just be honest, enjoyed the read

            Thanks, and you're right. Some are more comfortable wearing a mask.
