Monarchs in Winter

Watching a childhood friend die

The one you first met as a new infant

All the memories of your personal Guru

Wash over your entire perception 

Everything that ever changed

Becomes connected within the network

Of roots beneath your present feet

And the monarch butterflies covering

All the trees of your past lives

It is one what was once many and unknown

Too difficult to capture at once

Is a purple wash with orange pulsations 

In the tune of the heartbeat

Of a sunburst behind your eyelids

Hot from tears of a sticky reminder

We are all mortal once each instance

Returning to the oak reborn

Haunting our lovers’ dreams
