Westerly Winds

Kurt Philip Behm

The passions

that divided us

when we were young

Bring us back

together

when old

 

The bias

the malice

the pain and the hurt

The years

in their wisdom

remold

 

What once

seemed important

and drove us apart

Transformed

like a westerly

wind

 

To finish

our days

attached at the hip

Umbilically

joined

— from within

    This poem the opposite of the usual passion when young that burns out and drives people apart later in the relationship. I love the positive turn on this. Nicely done.

      My friend, I've seen relationships change in exactly this way. Things that once felt enormous somehow shrink with time, leaving room for something deeper to grow. This spoke to me, Kurt. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

      Kurt, this really moved me. Thereโ€™s something deeply hopeful hereโ€ฆthe idea that time can soften what once felt impossible to overcome. Beautiful piece, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ
