Yesterday's Oath Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Yesterday's Oath

Are you willing to shoulder
the burden that was left
by those no longer heard

To write those things
they never wrote
inspired by their every word

To take that next step
they never took
to reach beyond their grasp

Clearing the way for those unborn
to pick up the mantle
— embracing the past

(The New Room: March,2024)
