Time Bereft

Kurt Philip Behm

The aging

of our memories

Each year

a thought turns grey

Till all that’s left

is time bereft

And darkness   

— leads the way

        What a haunting little poem, Kurt. Memory, aging, and darkness all fold together into something very quiet and final...almost like time erasing its own footprints. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
