Line of inquiry: blessings from above, transformed lust to love delusion to illumination, earth-heaven bilocation Once I was an ugly larva in the thick wraps of a cocoon almost dormant, inactive and dull, with no pulse of life in me. my soul was a chrysalis, and I badly longed to see the light. I wanted to become a new creation, with faith and hope abiding in me. soon I felt a stir of life in me, the melting of my ego, and a slow dissolution of doubt and fears. With full surrender to the divine, a new energy overpowered me. wings sprouted on either side, a kaleidoscope of colors. I unfurled my wings like a butterfly and soared into dizzying heights. I reeled round in a vast sky, and saw the source of divine light. Once I had thought, if I set my eyes, on the things of this world, and amass them to my heart’s content, everlasting happiness, I would be able to gather. but I knew I have been in a fool’s paradise. When blessings came from above, love came to conquer, a love so immeasurable. a love that transcended lust and carnality, changing delusions into illumination. making possible earth and heaven bilocation. His love is the only love that changes the thug and the thief, the arrogant and the belligerent, A love that brings about a metamorphosis in life!

Wow! Congrats! Thanks for sharing this... exposing your "metamorphosis" thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Indeed, He alone can give us genuine spiritual metamorphosis. Be blessed.

"I wanted to become a new creation, with faith and hope abiding in me. soon I felt a stir of life in me," -- beautifully inspiring. "a new energy overpowered me. wings sprouted on either side," -- the Holy Spirit. "I unfurled my wings like a butterfly and soared into dizzying heights." His love is the only love" -- I agree. And indeed such realization is a metamorphosis. Best of luck with contest.

If we love how Christ wants to love, we sure would enjoy love in its truest and purest form. I love the growth and progression. And that's what happens when we receive his light. Everything changes. Our needs, our paths and our purpose. We become new. Scare-free and more willing to do everything he wants. Lovely written Dear V. "When blessings came from above, love came to conquer, a love so immeasurable. a love that transcended lust and carnality, changing delusions into illumination." Great.

Metamorphosis in life attained through faith and love youve expressed so sincerely in such an eloquent manner! I love the wordplay here and similes and how youv written in a very vulnerable manner sweet valsa: especially the opening lines really stood out for me, i think many must have thought happiness can be achieved through wordly lies and material possessions unaware of how true happiness is divine and it comes from within: i think youv had an understanding of that and delivered a poem that fits line of enquiry. Im yet to do this but i think this will be a winner for sure; best wishes and sending you light always
