fragments of blank paper nothing
but cobwebs to you my dainty being
even when smeared with printed thoughts
can you weave them to a story?
i lost some parts of me when i found
and plucked you a thornless rosebud
and listening from what you have left unsaid
our communion was a mistake sanctified!
let this delicate secret settle and die
calmly to its terrestrial repose then I
to the next eternity will bravely seek
to forgive myself including yourself.
very soon i will be free enough
for these fast growing wings to flap
and fly me to a higher interlude
of space and time: the flesh is made Word!
"Metamorphosis"
expresses a transition between two eternities: from man's
terrestrial tenure as the alpha to his final celestial abode as the
omega. The poem likewise impresses a translation of the mortal,
physical and superficial in contrast to the eternal, ethereal and
supernatural. Ultimately, the poem elevates man's
mortality (the flesh) to a higher level of being, to
divinity (the Word).
