As We Metamorphose

Line of inquiry:
“being mistook we burnt the book
thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest
touched by spirit, our body shook
by God’s light blest as we undressed” by Unseeking Seeker

Undressed, with no pretense showing,
we'll have metamorphosed into His glory.
We can look around us then seeing all is glowing.
Beautiful development will have been our story.

The narrative we'd simply had to change
while meditating deep inside our mind
as we waited for things to rearrange.
Though we were a pupa, bliss we could find.

Sure enough, God-touched and wholly shaken,
we became as butterflies, prepared for flight,
for to paradise we will be taken
on wings of love into God’s precious light.

we become as butterflies! that was such a great line. I can't imagine your first line being true while here on this earth. However one day we will be in heaven, then that will be the thing. Good luck in his contest.

It's an imagining of the future. The second verse describes how that glory will be achieved. The ending goes back to describing the glory we can expect

Very beautiful, Andrea. Very transcendent.
