Duality
Caterpillar
Seeking the boundary
To cross over to new self
Grief ensues in changes
In between two selves
As one face is shorn
For the other and
Old ways expire but
Death is an illusion as
One self is torn away and
Transfigured into a new mystery
Incarnation
Butterfly, the math for transformation
Two sides to the equation
Both in perfect summation
Symmetrical wings
Lifting each self into
One and the same soul
The face of the soul
Is faceted
From one life to a new one
The grotesque becomes magnificent
In its symmetry
The soul grows through grief
Into gossamer wings
One soul
Two selves
One is shed for
Transcendence
And the other
Ascends out of
Duality.
