"Metamorphosis"

 

I am no more than the sum of my parts.

At times, those parts live harmoniously,

While other's disharmony rules my day;

ever a balance between light and thunder.

 

The universe functions with the same rules.

Planets, comets and asteroids collide.

Stars convert atoms into heavy matter.

Galaxies gobble up their light and waste.

 

Neither them nor I, are of things created

or destroyed; and yet, by virtue of existence

we seem to one day appear, and the next

disappear; nothingness of whence we came.

 

Creation-destruction, two halves and sum;

the universal constant metamorphosis.

I love what Gene said. I love too, your juxtaposition of light with dark over and over again--somehow, I don't know how--but somehow it lends sound to the poem... It's a big wonder, and a big poem. --Charlie

From new to old and then gone again. Your words brought the cycle of life to life. Metamorphosis is right. Liz

the metamorphosis of the universe reveals the mutilverse of selves, if our minds can understand and accept it possibilities ...

thought provoking and really well written, Sara ...

Excellent, Sara, in thought and execution.
Carl Sagan said that we are starstuff. I of course
believe him. We are forever, and some day I'll prove it.

I am glad to have found this treasure of poetry this morning. This is by all means a commendable poetic work that – Shakespeare and Milton would be honored to read –, for most of their works were written in BLANK VERSE, and because this artistic and scientific “Metamorphosis” is an “English Sonnet” written in BLANK VERSE.

I must thank the author of “Metamorphosis” – poet Sara Coslett for this brilliant work in BLANK VERSE that honors the English language and enriches the history of POETRY.

Blessed busy be your pen.

My appreciation,

Margarita Caligaris, Litt.D., Ph.D.

Yes, Sara, constant change is at the heart of all, the living universe of which we're part. Weighty and sincere and very worthwhile.
