Lo Que Es Real

Kurt Philip Behm

Sometimes ...

you have to get old

to be young

Sometimes ...

you have to step back

to then run

Sometimes ...

intention is more

than it seems

Sometimes ...

what’s real only comes

— in a dream

        What a beautifully distilled poem, Kurt! Each seeming contradiction reveals how growth rarely moves in a straight line. Maturity can restore wonder, retreat can prepare us for movement, and dreams can uncover truths the waking mind avoids. Excellent work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
