To Live Inside You

Kurt Philip Behm

Oh,

to be

remembered

Oh,

to memories

serve

 

Oh,

to cheat

the reaper

 

Oh,

to strike

a nerve

 

Oh,

to light

the candle

 

Oh,

to be

a spark

 

Oh,

to live

inside you

 

Oh,

to smite

— the dark

    What a beautiful piece, Kurt. The desire to be remembered grows into something larger here...to leave warmth, light, and a little resistance against the darkness in someone else. Quietly powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    Nicely said Kurt we all want to cheat the reaper but so far no one has.
