Beyond The Self

Kurt Philip Behm

If consciousness were to exist

beyond the self

 

What opinions

might it change

 

Can something exist outside its

own space

 

Can something be something

it’s not

 

Is time the new slave

to the master it birthed

 

Can the end

be started again

 

Can the future or past,

exist on their own

 

Can the present

be something untouched

 

Can you believe what the facts

will disprove or disclaim

 

With reflection beyond logic

and guilt

 

Can you teach what you’ve learned

in spite of yourself

 

Can your silence

tame the mountainous roar

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)
