As we Metamorphose Premiere Contest Winner

“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” ~ Unseeking Seeker
As the sky dissolves remnants of scripted dogma, to uncloak a canopy ~ embroidered with empathy, carved with clarity, illuminated with integrity, tangled in transcendence. I listen to the cinnamon cadence of celestial conversations, flowing as seamless rhymes through veins in quiescence, while vibrant butterflies, winged in blissful silver, flutter and kiss the hibiscus dawn ~ a prophecy stirred from the chrysalis of this glass heart, lit with diamond flames ~ reflecting gospel pages of restful repose, an eloquent mirror to the soul’s mindful gratitude, painted with patience ~ sprouting from the green willows of wisdom, like fortified fields crowning the tip of resilient mountains, facing kismet constellations of life, without form ~ golden entrance adorned with serene sepals, humbly harmonizing the sonatas out of tune, erasing refrains of learned lines, rewinding on repeat, imitating scriptures long recited from ancient tongues. For I was once a marionette, paused on rusted strings of time, afraid to unlock the frills of freedom that chained me to the cracked calligraphies… Now I journey through rose dunes, breathing the Almighty’s light, keen to undress the hypnotic lyrics of love, untangling luminous webs within the third eye, to realign murky metaphors, eliminating illusion and ego, nurturing sparks of silence with raining jasmines… O sapphire-stitched rings of seraphic stars, I surrender to the frequencies of neon mists, as I lift my spirit, let it ascend, and reach the clouds whispering magic, drizzling alchemy of dreams. So purify the essence within from incensed veils of ethereal threads, quietly moving in sync with the echoes of stillness, resting and rising to caress and embrace the periwinkle horizon, while shedding the weight of weariness and sabotaging dews of dusk. Touch me with tender truth, feel the pulse of liquid pink lilies, gentle heat of cosmic healing tied to conscious manifestations ~ vibrant valleys thriving in kindness and forgiveness, where I’ll dwell in the timeless fragrance ~ musk of metamorphosis, oud of soul’s resurrection, steeped in the sweet scent of revival, knitting clarity to the heart of transcending twilight, yearning for nothing but everything that breathes ~ zen through enlightened chakras, merging merciful rivers into zephyrs, until the sky sees the Universe~ living within my fingertips, glowing in colors of midnight mandalas, inked with peacock prayers…

Your yearning for this beautiful transformation from chrysalis to 'butterflies winged in blissful silver' and from a marionette with no command over oneself to a self guided, refined lively persona, purifying the essence within and vibrant with kindness and forgiveness, shedding the weight of weariness, eliminating illusion and ego and rising 'to caress and embrace the periwinkle horizon,' is a indeed a leap and a steady progression to a total metamorphosis. Wonderful ink, dear Empress. Hearty Congratulations on your well deserved trophy win.

This is a stunning transition filled with deep emotional striving and astronomical awe. Lots of lovely lines, and I appreciate how your poem depicts the speaker breaking the constraints of vanity to surpass. This is a form of poetry I particularly admire, as it is etched with precision from the heart. I like this phrase: "musk of metamorphosis, oud of soul's resurrection, steeped in." This is my favorite, and it is a clear winner.

Dearest Empress, a breathtaking metamorphosis with deep spiritual longing, a cosmic wonder, and the courage to shed old scripts. I could really feel your heart’s ascent in every luminous line, from sapphire-stitched stars to the musk of revival. A most extraordinary, radiant journey of unmasking, surrender, and soulful blooming. Transformation is both a gentle surrender and a triumphant, sacred flight. I now am flying to a FAV! Spring Blessings and Light, My Dear Empress, Daniel

Poetry from the soul, reaching across the unknown, searching for the akashic records of explanations...

I know US will like this as it's right up his alley. When I see the state of the world and how far we drifted from His commands and requirements it just makes me sad. We need the written word more than ever in our lives. In any case, your poem is beautifully written. "So purify the essence within and... Touch me with tender truth," yes his Word is truth

This is the type of poetry that I truly appreciate, as it is carved with clarity. Love the flow of cinnamon cadence (I cannot emulate such divine alliteration.) This poem is rich with mystical and spiritual imagery, weaving a journey of transformation and inner purification. self-discovery, rebirth, and spiritual transcendence. You break free from burdens, embracing clarity, and becoming one with the universe.
