Sound Bites (June 25,2024) Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Blessed Quietude

Audibly
we rise
and fall

But Silence...
is the language
of God

(Dreamsleep: June,2024)


Lost In Place

The past
is never where you left it
Tomorrow
— delegitimizes today

(Dreamsleep: June,2024)


Groupies

Liking...
sometimes better
than loving

(Keith Richards: June,2024)


First Step

Standing at the crossroads
and knowing that you're there
Going left or going right
coin toss or a dare
Pushed by fate determined
into sorrow, joy, or pain
First step taken tells the tale
— of destiny proclaimed

(Dreamsleep: June,2024)
