Metamorphosis

The Dalai Lama says “if you accept the possibility of future lives, then death is just like changing your clothes”


As the time 
in haste approaches
I can’t help
but compare
myself to
the caterpillar
marching
forward
forward
forward
sights on 
the miracle
of the chrysalid
blossoming
into
the
unfettered
butterfly
