The Sage: Butterfly Society

He walks along the narrow road,
as though his feet are kissing the ground.
Bliss radiates from his face
in every moonlight's phase.
The secret to his divine nature
lies in a caterpillar's future.
In a war torn empire, where drones fly,
he teaches people to be like a butterfly.
"Let your ugly nature within you end
in meditation and practice, then
slowly you change into a new, radiant being,"
he teaches....
