With Each Musing

Kurt Philip Behm

The power of poetry

the world is our Muse

No part unimportant

no win and no lose

 

Alive and unending

she waits to be born

Inside what we’ve written

with joy — and forlorn

 

From Everest to Mariannas

her messages lie

Above and below us

to welcome inside

 

Reborn with each musing

her power to save

inside every passage

— from birth to the grave

 

(The New Room: September, 2026)
