Hopeful Sound Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Hopeful Sound

Rating: 5.0


We're lucky to have survived each other,
in the aftermath of love

Those promises made as leaves they fell,
from a height so far above

The seasons changed, a pledge reclaimed,
buries deep within the ground

Waiting for Spring, its first robin to sing
—a new song of hopeful sound

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April,2019)

'We're lucky to have survived each other, in the aftermath of love' Sadly I have seen this theme repeated far to often. Enjoyed.

Your love poem gave me a great image to hold onto: leaves hidden beneath the snow. This is a real thing in my yard right now. Thinking of those fall leaves as forgotten love to be reclaimed is wonderful and a reminder that we don't have to tame and tidy everything...and we can return to them despite everything. Nice Kurt.
