The Reefs Ahead
Her song is
playing
Your will
impaired
To court
the Siren
of hope’s
— despair
********
The Fire Of Truth
“Wear a mask
long enough ...
you become
the mask
Tell a lie
long enough ...
you become
the lie”
Choosing deceit
as your clarion call
your soul is by fate
forever to fall
Life without truth
is but death on the wind
verity’s fire
— only burns from within
********
Graffiti
Cosmology
will never explain
the magic of
the universe
Astronomy
physics and math
combined
— but graffiti on the wall
*********
Memories Of Greg
Immersed
in sound
Inside of
the wave
My past
looms above
The future
to brave
Forty feet
down
And preparing
to drop
All time
in this moment
Where life
— can’t be bought
********
Headstones
Freedom
most coveted
when purchased
in blood
The bones
of our fathers
lie deep
in the mud
Beyond
any tender
or currency
known
The price
of our liberty
in grave markers
— shown
********
Montana
The heart
of America’s
Old Testament
Her vistas eternal
ancient voices
within
From Glacier to Miles City
from the Blackfeet
to the Bison
The song of her grandeur
predates legend
— and whim
********
Poetry ...
Seeing everyday things
— in a once in a lifetime way

Kurt I particularly liked Fire of Truth very nicely done
Thanks. I like that one too. It woke me up (as many do) from a sound sleep.
Kurt, this is one heck of a collection. Each piece stands on its own, yet together they feel like snapshots from the same contemplative mind. I especially loved ending with your definition of poetry…it couldn’t be more fitting. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
With many thanks.
