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

The story of paradox in this poem Kurt well written my friend I love the weaving of rhyme with the meaning
Thanks. Have a great weekend.
Most welcome Kurt you have one as well
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! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Very kind words again, thank you.
This is a gift. Thank you, Kurt.
