Metamorphosis

Dwelling in delusions

Somewhere lost in the island amidst the ocean of realities

The caterpillar is both

Joyous and content. 

Hardly does her myopic sight can foresee 

The existence of the world beyond the cocoon

For the cocoon is not just a yarn 

But a storm of yarns

Woven together with intricacy

Into a capsule concrete

Of unfathomable "truths" 

The "truths" that the caterpillar feeds on

Or maybe the caterpillar that the "truths" feed on

Yet, she is both 

Joyous and content.

BOO! 

A day

Cracks the house of illusions

And the self hood is reborn! 

Freeing herself from the pangs of the unicorn 

She breaks through the cocoon

And emerges out 

As an embodiment of beauty

For she, now, 

Is in peace 

Defenses rest

Delusions die

Apparition Ashens

She swims into reality

And floats through all the airs-

More self realized than ever. 

And THAT, 

On heaven and earth 

Is the most beautiful growth 

Ever manifested.

Metamorphosis!
