Shadow's Defining

Kurt Philip Behm

Dark Angel

of memory

returning to haunt

 

Those musings

left orphaned

bone stricken and gaunt

 

In shadows

defining

what sleep can’t abide

 

I’m forced to remember

what time

— cannot hide

 

(Dreamsleep: December, 2025)

    Kurt, this feels hushed and unavoidable. It moves like a visitation…quiet, precise, and heavy with what refuses rest. The restraint gives it power. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    I have been there Kurt and yes it is not always a pleasant place. Nicely written

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Thanks. I wish you light!

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome Kurt and thank you where there is life there is light
