The Torch Passed

Kurt Philip Behm

The Ancestral Pen

when passing down

to heirs apparent

is thus endowed

 

Its ink distilling

what time cannot

a legacy willing

what can’t be bought

 

The Ancestral Pen

rewrites the tome

of generations

that sat the throne

 

From voices distant

to voices near

the torch is passed

— the future clear
