Kurt Hearth Poems

A smile
is a frown turned upside down.
A smile
is painted on the face of a clown.
...

My endeavor is
to walk
...

Through the hourglass
watching
grains of sand falling.
I see time slipping by.
...

Within the conquest I pursue,
along the thoroughfare of Life.
At times, have arisen occasion,
against obstacles, I stubbed my toe.
...

From parent and child
to friend to child to parent.
I've grown and reflecting back.
The circle is clear to me.
...

Like so many diamonds
sparkling in the night.
A new fallen snow glistens.
In the winter moon's cold light.
...

From a still sea
the sun rises.
Farmers return
with their harvest.
...

The seas I transit, under sail.
Highways and byways I journey.
Calm or direct, may not always be.
Every step, every mile I am tested.
...

When I was young
the shadow he cast was long.
When I was afraid.
In his shadow I could be brave.
...

I walked the field of battle,
eerie silence accompanied me.
The bitter odor of confrontation,
lingered mutely in the air.
...
