Neither
happiness
nor misery
But the
kinship
they imbue
He who feels
the deepest
grief
Is to joy
most open
to
Life dissolves
without
context
No moment
stands
alone
For light
to shine
it needs the dark
Wherein
the truth
— is shown
(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)
Lest We Forget ...
First
Last
And Always
— Have Something To Say
(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)

Wonderful Kurt in a most poetic form this poem speaks to the need for dualities there can be no good without evil no light without dark, no truth without falsehood. Nicely written my friend
Exactly, thanks.
You're most welcome Kurt
Well written. So true, you emphasize that one cannot exist without the other.
Thank you.
Kurt, this balances philosophy and clarity well. The structure keeps it distilled, almost aphoristic, but the emotion is real. “For light / to shine / it needs the dark” holds the center, and “— Have Something To Say” turns reflection into resolve. Strong, thoughtful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
And I thank you, again.
