Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Great Grandfather John

I love you but I don’t know you,
  I miss you, though you’ve never been here

I long for what the years have stolen…
   a vacant memory so dear

I feel you across the hallowed spectrum,
  of death and then beyond

Where our spirits write the words together…
   different verses—the same song

(Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania: May, 2019)
