One Ballad

Kurt Philip Behm

Home

is a person

Beyond

structure or place

Who lives

deep inside you

Beyond

notion or trace

 

Home

is a feeling

That lights up

the dark

And sings

but one ballad

That plays

— in your heart

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2026)

        Kurt, what a beautiful piece. The gentle rhythm carries the reader effortlessly, and I especially appreciated the way you redefine home as something living within us rather than somewhere we simply arrive. It’s tender, comforting, and quietly profound. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

          Thanks. I heard the words from a wise old cowboy in Miles City Montana.
