Balance Sheet Karma (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Reconciling

life’s ledger

hoping

it’s in black

 

Every deed

and every need

accountable

in fact

 

Debits

fighting credits

to balance

in the end

 

The gist of life

through joy and strife

where numbers

— will portend

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)

 

 

 

Follow Me Down

 

The pathway to hell

paved with good intentions

— and unwritten words

 

(Dreamsleep: July, 2025)

    Very nicely done Kurt this tells of life's balance between the good we do and that bad. A great metaphor

        The balancing of good and bad that we do in our lifetime, sadly many today are way in the red, enjoyed the read
