Out of Focus

a long awaited sun sits in view
where waves wash away the worries of the world
left behind ruins  
beneath scars cut from the elixir of life  
  
where we levitate  
where destruction demands of time  
trapped in trails of temptation  
we breed    
temptation  
in temporary states of mind  
   
but we don't mind    
whether we win, we lose, or we die  
unfocused  
caught up in the focus  
of awkwardness  
in another's faultless eye  
   
   
   
“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.” – Richard Bach

Butterflies are the souls of caterpillars, they are borne from the inside out, they last for only a short while to start their hurricanes leave their beautiful imprint on their new world, before they leave to regenerate again in another place; if one butterfly could flutter its wings to set molecules of air in motion, to move other molecules of air, to eventually start just one hurricane -

just imagine what a legion of butterflies could achieve with their vibrations raising each other and all that is good in ‘being’ to higher levels to transform each other. Through chaos, great change occurs. It gets worse before it gets better. Butterflies are fragile, but they are the souls of caterpillars, strong enough to wave their messages of rebirth through. Don’t get me started on Bees. Love. Joy. Be.
