Phan Thanh gian - Follow the Butterfly

2014-06-14 0

One day, I will yearn nothing, spurn nothing.
For now I live in my selfish cocoon
One day, I will become a butterfly
With wings not made from this world.

I now cherish my hermit-crab shell
One day, I'll give it back to nature.
Today, I revel in my Stockholm syndrome
But my spirit will be released in the future

My flesh and blood matter now
One day, I'll be one with anti-matter.
The reflection of my image is now paramount
But one day, light will traverse through me...


(these verses were inspired by 'The Heart of Awareness, translation of the Ashtavakra Gita')
