Ensuring Tomorrow

Kurt Philip Behm

Adroitness

remits

what curiosity

requires

Professing

allegiance

through tundra

and fire

 

The rabbits

two exits

protecting

its lair

Ensuring

tomorrow

when trapped

— au contraire

        Nicely said. It touches on the idea of preparedness and the necessity of maintaining hope for the future, even when faced with adversity.

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Kurt, I resonate with the idea that curiosity demands skill…that survival requires more than intention. The rabbits image feels like a metaphor for living with awareness, always knowing the exits. That tension between exploration and protection feels real. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
