Chrysalis

Kurt Philip Behm

Your wishes

half empty

Your hopes are

half full

Chameleons

perspective

Hell bent

on the view

 

Tomato

tomatto

Once sliced

are the same

The pulp

left to ripen

Regardless

of name

 

Those blessings

upon you

Accepted

or not

Define

a new vista

uncooked

in the pot

 

When leaving

to enter

Once piercing

the veil

The end

comes in

focus

— a butterfly’s tale

 

(Dreamsleep: August, 2026)

    Fanciful in its wording it weaves back and forth over the line of reality. Nicely done with a great rhyme. Well done my friend

    Kurt, what a thoughtful piece. The movement from perspective and perception toward transformation feels natural throughout, and I especially appreciated the butterfly image at the close. It brings everything together with a quiet sense of hope and renewal. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
