Beyond The Gleam (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Can you escape your own intelligence,

can you cross that final line

 

Can you release your own magnificence,

starting over, redefined

 

Can you see beyond your vision,

can you wish beyond your dreams

 

Can you think beyond your knowing,

—can you love beyond the gleam

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

 

 

Heaven's Thunder

 

 Eric never asked a question,

Stevie couldn’t answer

 

As hearts aspire, their stage on fire,

the Garden’s roof asunder

 

One lick and then another,

with Clapton our new mother

 

As Winwood melts a father’s keys,

—to hell with heaven’s thunder

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)

    To me, this describes beautifully the journey from ego to self, the difficult journey we must all eventually undertake. Well done, Kurt!

  • Augustus

    Thanks for the read, the second still puzzling, but great food for thought.

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood have been together in various bands
    for over 50 years. They are both the best at what they do, and seem to
    finish each others musical sentences.

    Together—at Madison Square Garden—they gave a concert for the ages.
