Standing apart
from truth
Life came
into focus
Its burden
had lifted
Detached
— I was free
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Oh Juliet
Life
for the living
Time
for the dead
Prescience
betrothing
Knowledge
— unwed
(The New Room: March, 2026)

I don't know how many will fell this as I did but it spoke to me Kurt a most Buddhist feel to this. A fave
Good Karma to you.
The same your way
Kurt, these feel like small philosophical snapshots…clarity arriving through distance, and the weight of life lifting into a kind of freedom. The second piece adds an almost reflective echo with time, knowledge, and the tension between them. Short lines, but they leave room for the thought to breathe. Nicely done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Another most poetic comment, and I thank you.
Most welcome, Kurt!
