Your Sprit Bereft Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

Your Sprit Bereft



Nocturnal flower
In need of sleep
Your petals wilted
The count for sheep

Shoulders hunch in darkness
The dice are cast
A croupier blocking
Sun's setting mask

Through court and courtship
Lost adrenalin runs
A jester beckoning
His joke undone

And the meadow sparse
The reaper has left
A future reharvested,
—your spirit bereft
