The Leaves Turn Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Growing simpler with each passing year The leaves turn and my mind releases Freeing what it’s taken a lifetime to acquire Freeing what only this moment can understand - - - - - - - - - So complex a thought, so simply said ! ! ! Wonderful.

I was savoring the complexity of thought here, and contemplating how to make a comment to reflect what I was thinking. My eye wandered down to a comment on how simple this poem is! #%^*. I'm guessing my mind is simple, so I will simply kick back and thank you for making me think about freeing whatever I can understand.' Powerful thoughts, Kurt & I appreciate that you wrote them down. =: -)

Your poetry is simple, yet so meaningful.

A beautiful statement of acceptance

Simple but significant. The philosophical perspective of this poem attracts me a lot. Here is a Bengali Translation of your poem.
