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.
