They Rise

Kurt Philip Behm

Greatness

spawn’s reincarnation

like the dawn

rebirths the sun

 

Alexander

Patton, and Churchill sleep

but woken

rebecome  

 

When destiny calls

the greatest rise

to battle

zero sum

 

And stem the tide

before the flood

on shores of victory

— won

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2025)

    Mind provoking I think of all the greats forgotten to time, those unrecognized, would they be the same in another day? Most interesting Kurt.
