To Ignite And Amaze

Kurt Philip Behm

Can you purchase tomorrow,
  with yesterday’s wage

Can you eliminate sorrow,
  still carrying your rage

Can you call out the answer,
  with the question at bay

Can you set a reminder,
  while forgetting your way

Can this moment unchosen,
  be the instant that lasts

Can a heart still unbroken,
  survive torment aghast

Can the choices you’ve made,
  set the world all ablaze

Can you harness the fire,
—to ignite and amaze

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
