Growing simpler with
each passing year
The leaves turn
and my mind releases
Freeing what it’s taken
a lifetime to acquire
Freeing what only this moment
can understand
(Grantham New Hampshire: January,2012)
I was savoring the complexity of thought here, and contemplating how to make a comment to reflect what I was thinking. My eye wandered down to a comment on how simple this poem is! #%^*. I'm guessing my mind is simple, so I will simply kick back and thank you for making me think about freeing whatever I can understand.' Powerful thoughts, Kurt & I appreciate that you wrote them down. =: -)
Simple but significant. The philosophical perspective of this poem attracts me a lot. Here is a Bengali Translation of your poem. Thanks a lot, dear poet. পাতারা বদলে যাচ্ছে ।। কুর্ট ফিলিপ বেম ধাবমান প্রতিটি বছরের প্রভাবে সরলতর হতে হতে পাতারা বদলে যাচ্ছে আর নির্ভার হচ্ছে আমার মন একটা জীবৎকাল অর্জনে যা কিছু নিয়েছিলো ফিরিয়ে দিচ্ছে ফিরিয়ে দিচ্ছে কেবল এই মুহূর্তটি যা বুঝতে পারছে @Translated into Bengali (Bengalized) by Rahman Henry
