bioluminescence

some people contain a salutary glow
like a bloom of phosphorescent algae
i honor them

their breasts are full of empathy
and art and poetry
and most of all love

their marrow pulls them to bliss
and they light our way to euphoria
though their paths do not often converge

their reason is made of healing
and science and genius and justice
obsessions which cure our ails

their consciousness hails friendship
above all things, human relationships
their fingerprints on our souls

i follow and read them
i befriend and smile their way
they are not afraid to be alive
