The inner mind;
What does it find?
A journey into many special places;
Death is stasis.
Then a metamorphosis ;
like a butterfly.
Beautiful like after morphing into a glorious form,
Oh my.
Life, Death, and resurrection,
Just like a Butterfly.

You have really been able to arrest the impulses with which the life force proceeds. It is really a beautiful imagination and you have given it a beautiful shape. You said so much in a few words. This proves your craftsmanship as a poet

This will teach me to wear my glasses when reading poems! I kept misreading "Death in stasis" and couldn't get the sense of it. It is a lovely poem but I would like to draw your attention to its only flaw,
"Beautiful like after morphing into a glorious form,"
In compasrison with the economy of expression in every other line, this jars rather. The 'like after' is the really clumsy bit.
I would suggest,
"Beautiful transition into glorious form,"
Still, nice poem. H
