In Search Of My Own Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

In Search Of My Own



I traveled from Essex
to the kingdom of Wales
in search of a family tree

And passing a cobbler
I then was reminded
what these shoes really mean to me

I've walked and I've walked
and I've searched and I've searched,
for a name more than mine on loan

And through leather worn thin
these sparse clothes that I'm in
will walk to China in search of my own

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March,2015)
