METAMORPHOSIS

There are many things change in life: The man, societies and religions. However, although nature has done so for millions of years, its processes are wiser, more understandable and keeping a logic that goes far beyond us.
Also, there are many manifestations of metamorphosis in nature, but the butterfly, perhaps from being so involved in our daily lives, it is my view, one of the most representative.
In this poem, I try to show my amazement so divine conception of change from a caterpillar to a butterfly. It seems that God intends to offer a simple example and wonderful than any human being can achieve through hard work, conviction to change their environment for something positive and proactive, as well as love and respect for their habitat.



METAMORPHOSIS

When I admire the transformation of the nature,
I feel myself more mortal, more fugacious, more inmaterial.
It is like to see the eternity resumed in one cycle
that oscillates slow and tenderly.

No words necessary to describe it,
and it is because there no exist.
Only one poem can describe it
and involves it in a word like divinity.

In the climax of the advent of a new way of life,
I remain in muting, trying to fill my soul
with the breath that exalts from the softness
of the wings whom are battling to reach the sun.

  2. Dear Debrah:
    As always, your poetic style is impressive, deep and elocuent. It is amazing in how you select the themes for your poems. I am sure the poetry is a inextinguible falme of expression with a responsable sense.

  3. Debrah, what a lovely poem. To me, Nature mirrors God and the spiritual life. The Butterfuly is a beautiful example of spiritual death, life and rebirth. And if the butterfly, how much moreso our own souls?

    I'm a dragonfly lover and the fact that they are concieved in the air, live for a year in water as a nymph, then crawl out to the earth and fly just blows my mind. These complex little creatures of air, earth and water are my muses. Thank you for sharing your amazing poem.

    Blessings,

    Marion

  8. Very gentle Eileen:
    When a person like you pronounce those kind words, I feel connected to a reality that deserves the sum of all our efforts to change it. However, it is not enough, the struggle to understand our nature as mortal beings, it is necessary to try to change the way nature is perceived by modern man.
    Thank you for your kindness:

  13. 'trying to fill my soul
    with the breath that exalts from the softness
    of the wings whom are battling to reach the sun' Beautiful closing of her curtains and I am knowing of this which you speak (through your words just read), when you said at my place/in my space.....'Sometimes I try to find what a poem means to me, more that what the writer intended to say'. It should be like so, I am thinking. Words written should make the reader think beyond the printed matter.

    But this, this I shall relish for its freshness --
