Waiting for the future
to come to him
He hid from the past
— in moments sublime
**
Fear Rewinds
You ask me why
I’ve been to lands
that you have
never seen
While you refuse
to cross the line
where safety
gives reprieve
I marked the trail
in blood and pain
the door behind
unlocked
Where you stand fast
while stuck in place
as fear
— rewinds your clock
**
Their Cost Demands
The purchase price
of truth
is life
The purchase price
of truth
is death
Life or Death
their cost
demands
What zero-sum
their will
— commands
**
Inside The Shadow
He didn’t know
he knew it
until he did
He never took
offense
at wounds rebled
He traveled
in place
at one fell swoop
Inside
the shadow
— of time’s rebuke
**
Time’s Regret
In tears
I drown
from heartaches
cast
And grief
my spirits
sole
repast
A memory
ridden
with time’s
regret
In search
of silence
to then
— forget
**
Shadow’s Long
Forever waiting ...
but then for what
The days retreating
the years untouched
A haunting vacuum
shadows long
Anticipation’s
— forgotten song
**
This Moment Alive
The future an orphan
born in the past
The present dynamic
destined to last
This moment alive
without reference or spin
Set free by the instant
— to happen within
**

Another great series of shorts that each one sends a separate message. Nicely done my friend

You are most welcome and your have a good one as well
Well-written poems, Kurt. Sach is an enjoyable read. Over and over.
Thanks so much, Jerry.
Kurt, that line about fear rewinding the clock really grabbed me…such a clean, striking way to show being stuck while time keeps moving. It anchors the whole idea of paralysis and motion at once. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Most appreciative. Thanks Tristan.
