Alchemy of Metamorphosis

The wheel of time churns up the entropy dust, 
settles on the unstable shelf of disorganized life. 
In maimed moments of dispersed perturbation 
truth oscillates beyond grasp on ripples of chaos. 

In the ordained flux of frenzied disorder 
everything ruffles to change except for change. 
The alchemy of elemental metamorphosis 
unveils the real façade of basic transformation. 

In the disorderly squall of divesting dismay surge,  
my mind is disheveled to a dishabille state, 
strips off the flimsy layers of antique emotions, 
confounded cascade of tear carries away all. 

Yet, when my castle of sand on the shore of yearning 
tumbles down in a clutter of scattered debris of heart,
I discover the hidden flute of feelings, and play again 
the melody of ecstasy in the symphony of memory.
