If your verse
is not remembered
Then all that time
was lost
Pretty words
and clever lines
Will melt
like Winter’s frost
If what you say
is subject
To what the wind
will blow
Time better spent
the less you vent
All verbiage
— to forego
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)
Perfection ...
The difference between
too much
— and not enough
(Dreamsleep: January, 2025)

Loved these Kurt and I have in the past written on the same topics but not so concisely and with such perfection. Nicely done my friend. A fave
Again, your comments are very kind.
Deservedly so.
Kurt, pairing these two pieces sharpens both. The meditation on wasted breath finds its counterweight in that final definition of perfection…the balance point between overflow and absence. Thoughtful, disciplined work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks TR.
Most welcome, Kurt!
