Buried In The Coals Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Buried In The Coals



Do you think you're Heaven worthy
for myself—I never have

The weight I carry pulls me down
and keeps me off the path

I avoid most every mirror
my reflection haunts me still

With eyes that stare like piercing lasers
to maim, and then to kill

My spirit left in ashes
my kindled soul to burn

Salvation buried in the coals
—from lessons never learned

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October,2018)
