Soul’s Imperil
Embrace the lost
creative gift
Keep it closest
to your heart
Ignore it
at your soul’s imperil
Whose ire tears
— your world apart
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Mistral Wind
First
Last
And Always
— say something
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Symbiosis
Without real freedom
true privacy dies
The right to our secrets
— in liberty lies
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Echoes Surround
You’ve been leaving
since before you arrived
The seeds of denial
you planted inside
To run in the wasteland
where echoes surround
An orphan retreating
— despoiled and bound
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Without The Dark
No saint
without a past
No sinner
without a future
No faith
without a doubt
No light
— without the dark
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
A Verbal Palette
A Poem is but a picture
— painted with words
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Leading Us Onward
Beautiful
chaos
A wonderous
chime
That rings
beyond order
And seeks
to defy
Leading
us onward
Calling
our name
Beyond
what’s endemic
Resplendence
— ordained
(Dreamsleep: March, 2026)
Looking Deeper
Did you ever love
what’s in the box
But hate
the way it’s wrapped
The politics
of modern life
Repels
— what it attracts
(Dreamsleep: March, 2027)

Here are a grouping of several gems. Hard to say the favorite this time Kurt. In Symbiosis there is a very pertinent message for today where there is no liberty or privacy so nicely said the two intertwined. Ecoes surround also in a more individual message of today's society and relationships so well worded. Without the dark is such a lovely depiction of duality. Looking Deeper such a lovely social commentary I would have to say that more likely people love the way it is wrapped but hate what is in the box. That I guess depends on the perspective and whether we are referring to the idea of democracy in the box or the intent of the politicians in the box. A great set Kurt a fave
Thanks for taking the time to read all them, Soren. And that's for your very kind,
insightful comments.
Always a pleasure my friend

Kurt, this carries real weight…short forms, but nothing light about them. That line about leaving before arriving hit deep, and the closing turn…“— what it attracts”…pulls everything into that uneasy truth we all recognize. It’s honest, unpolished in the right ways, and it stays with me. Powerful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
So glad to hear. Mission accomplished, thanks Tristan.
