Becoming the Butterfly
Since the beginning of time humankind have been plagued by one endearing question is there a God and how to connect with this supreme essence
Philosophers to teachers to holy men have extensively probed this enigma
many have sought answers through religion
or pondering over sacred works of holy men
Man seeks this God from the depths of the ocean
to the zenith of mountaintops
or the loftiness of the clouds above
Elders gazed at the gleaming stars
ancient bodies resting within the canvas of nighttime
wondering if only they could speak to us
There are those who seek inward
an uninhibited quest for the truth within
may we find the mysteries of creation
secrets obscured in the temple that we are
and how we align with the greater blueprint of humanity
in this world
Upon that revelation we will see the unity amid the mountaintops to the oceans apex
there is a reason why the earthbound trees branches reach towards the sky
everyday we will come closer to soaring
and becomming the butterfly
About this poem
Instead of searching outward the answers look inward for our connection to the supreme God
