Notes About The Poem

For: 

Eye of the Eye

What is that awareness by which each body-mind feels alive and becomes aware? ~ by Sponsor

What does the butterfly see 
when it looks at me
with those ten thousand eyes 
within eyes?
~ by Poet

I see the butterfly, I see the flower,
I see the sky in all of its power,
I feel the wind, I feel the heat
I hear the noise of this world’s conceit. 

Is the butterfly wise as it flutters nearby,
or is it simply beautiful nature’s gadfly~
insects don’t laugh, insects don’t cry, 
life is awry and I must question why?

                  Why do I obsess? 
                  (Because it is dense.)
                   The algorithms?
                   (It makes no sense!)
