circles of breath

little doubt
i am more focused,
more determined to listen, really hear
the essential messages should never get the cold shoulder
losing a friend hones the neurons
to razor sharp edges
that slice you
no matter which way you turn
your oozing blood forces you to stare at the red
to measure and record all actions,
to reevaluate time and energy
to allocate your cells in the proper proportions
I walk the woods by the lake, static daylight
is enough for cerebral photography
the camera just behind my eyeballs
snaps wildly and often
I organize the pictures into brand new albums
each of them titled with the poetry of metamorphosis
one by one i watch them accept their new wings
fly off with no concern for wind sheer
their flight tucks a smile inside my heart's secret pocket
they are liberated butterflies of peace
they are the multi-colored monarchs of healing
they are a symphony of molecules
they are the universal oxygen,
circles of breath
