THE NIGHT BUTTERFLIES, THE SHELL, AND HUMAN

THE NIGHT BUTTERFLIES, THE SHELL, AND HUMAN *
   For QT - membering our trolling along the Oakland hills

Should I be an ephemera
attracting this frenzied world
who want to stuck the light
before ending its life
at least a moment of the glorious night.

Incandescent make we lost our way
as well as direction in life
and in endless struggling
in this realm of death and rebirth.

Should I be a shell/scallop
living in the deep ocean
quietly evolved
minding / plying our distant realms

The shell has its sound
mellow as waves as the ocean
when we're fully paying attention
we can hear the ocean's echoing

May I be the human
roaming this beautiful earth
Helping life whenever we can
Compassion is the merit

May I be the human
even though there are hardships
just sharing our loves and haves
a legacy of oneself--
the state of being of the mind and heart.
