Kurt Philip Behm

We all become

stories

at the end

of the day

 

The true

and the false

the black

and the grey

 

The plot lines

will vary

the ends

in due course

 

As history

remembers

with joy

— and remorse

 

(Dreamsleep: February, 2025)

    Truth. What more can be said. Profound truth, beautifully expressed in this poem. Well done, Kurt. I really do love your Dreamsleep collection of poems.

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Thanks TR. 'Dreamsleep' are the writings from when the Muse
      (Laura) wakes me from a sound sleep with the words waiting and
      composed.

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        So true indeed history has a faulty memory and it can be selective at times. A beautiful write Kurt
