Devotional Poetry

Metamorphosis and Beyond Form

Metamorphosis

Humanity is the larva of an unknown Lepidoptera.
Preparing for the next phase
by feeding upon the green leaves
and fresh fruits of Divine truth.
Or the dead leaves
and spoiled fruits of man-made dogma.

Death is the pupa case from which our imagos break.
To soar on wings unbound
into an unknown sky,
or fall upon the ground
paralyzed and unprepared for flight.

Beyond Form

Transformation is the ability
and willingness to live beyond your form.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Metamorphosis
This capability to
God beyond our paradigm.

The capacity
To dwell beyond our culture
Is acquiescence.

Evolution is
The adeptness that takes
Us beyond our construction.

The ability
To go beyond tradition
Voluntary change.

Competence to change
Freewill: intentional choice.

Poet's Note: ▼

I don't know what year I wrote the first poem, which was inspired by a butterfly. The second was written in 150 B.E.
