The Thread

Kurt Philip Behm

Is there a thread that binds and ties,

an artist to his art

 

Is it thin or thickly woven,

does it hold or come apart

 

Is it there to free or wear one down,

with the memory of its form

 

Does its very nature reattach,

when in fury it is torn

 

Does it link in stark remembrance,

all that’s past and gone away

 

Does it keep the truth within arms reach,

—when again we’ve lost our way

    What's that they say, "you are what you eat". Does the same hold true for what we write? There is beauty in what you write, Kurt.
