Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Embracing Your Fear

I’ve always been good at making an entrance
   never choosing to stay

I’ve always been good at passing through
  most often forgetting the day

I bypassed adulthood, becoming a child
  as your legions mocked and jeered

And answered those voices calling out of the wild
  —embracing everything you fear

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)
