oh my goodness........is it all so basic, like a food chain thing.....all this greatness, all the minute......
all the circle of life..........

gee, and this morning I brushed my teeth (as usual)
should i have skipped that ritual?
I guess the swords can put things into perspective, depending on what end you are facing........
this makes me sad.........
its like a graceful news report..........dressed up
but your point does ring true and clear......and that makes this a valid and talent write........

Father Kurt,

here we are. You are a poet and I am a poet. My passion are intense as are your own. Your poetry is beautiful with a purified blessing while mine is self righteous and sometimes too passionate for reads.

I often wonder why you read my poems like you do but you are, in one word...faithful to me. IT is you who is steady and devoted, unconditionally. Me...I am a mortal and full of the transgressions of the mortals. MY needs are full with their compliance as empty as the well on an arid oasis.

Thank you for being who you are and for being my friend.

Love and blessings,
Susan

Hello Fr. Kurt!
This one conjures up a picture of a deep silence pervading all except for one small room where the light from a single lamp throws shadows on the walls and a figure sits at a clutterd desk, nonchalantly wading through fogotton, dust covered, leather bound books and Time magazines!

Enjoyed this!
Thank you :}

Hmm..Kurt..you have left me in a daze..your poem is pregnant with yearning and a loneliness difficult to define..
solo song
two o'clock
hoots of owls follow

Why do I say this?..perhaps the "solo..two 0'clock " scenario is quite familiar to me...sigh..
Well, at least I'm NOT "solo" in such wee hours of the morn..*smile...it seems I have company...a friend by the name of Kurt...
Bless you..

PS Many thanks for the warm reviews..my appreciation is endless..*smile*

Hey Fr I thought this was great, um, I was particularly fascinate by the reference to blossums in the first half of the verse, now that was interesting, this poem had a quainted gentleness too, like flow, I think it the bloom you mention was blooming souls, although it could refer to aythng hidden that blooms, it was kind of a frightful poem to me, ty al
