In Time That Matters

Kurt Philip Behm

Fantasy,
  a past remembered
 
Travesty,
  regret in embers
 
Sophistry,
  all reason proffered
 
Majesty,
  the treasure offered
 
Artistry,
  the future tendered
 
Modesty,
  true self is rendered
 
Memory,
  a life is gathered
 
Presently,
—in time that matters
