Ashes In The Past

Kurt Philip Behm

Is memory left immortal,

once the body dies

 

Are feelings cast eternal,

the last crow having cried

 

Does thought live on inside itself,

all time enslaved at last

 

One flame to burn the meaning deep

—all ashes in the past

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2017)

    I would say yes to the first three stanzas, and the flame will keep on burning!
    Love your writing, Kurt, not only for the beautiful presentation, but the deeper meanings. Your poems always make me think and ponder, and isn't that what poems are all about; beauty and meaning!
