from a caterpillar to a butterfly

the “now” -

empty of all else -

is the distillation;

the detoxification;

the demystification;

the efflorescence;

the transmogrification

of the known self into

the true self

Another poem to ponder

The overall feeling that the big words create, taken together and thinking about a caterpillar changing into a butterfly, reminds me of what it might be like to be beamed up in Star Trek or maybe even to be raptured. Yours, Deelilah
