From The Coal Mine Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

From The Coal Mine …

Liars …
early prophets
of impending doom

(The New Room: February,2024)


The Moment Shared

We often forget
wrapped up
in our own drama
— that everyone feels the same

(Dreamsleep: February,2024)



Circle Game

The purpose of war
is peace
The guarantor of peace
— is war

(Dreamsleep: February,2024)



Crucibles

Moss
hides the message
Whose altar
ascends
In joy's
adulation
The pilgrimage
— ends

(1st Book Of Prayers: February,2024)



I Bequeath Thee …

Birthing a memory
o'er future and past
To carry my words
inside others to last

Birthing a memory
o'er time and space
To those still unborn
— my welcoming grace

(Dreamsleep: February,2024)



Four Steps

Incinerate
all kindling that burns
Articulate
the knowledge that yearns
Reciprocate
before it's your turn
Elucidate
— each lesson hard earned

(The New Room: February,2024)


True Fortune

Good health is loaned
— but never owned

(Deamsleep: February,2024)
