To Create With Your Heart

Kurt Philip Behm

Are you technically perfect,

but spiritually weak

 

Are your words so well crafted,

your soul cannot speak

 

Are your rhythms in cadence,

and your endings in rhyme

 

Are you stuck in a format,

that kills the sublime

 

Do your stanzas all end,

with the beginning destroyed

 

Does the summation now grieve,

with its parts overjoyed

 

Can you escape your own artistry,

can your craft turn to art

 

Can you risk all rejection,

—to create with your heart

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)

    Speaking your own truth does risk rejection but othwise we are not honest. Thought provoking and beautifully written.
