It’s Venus flytrap deceptive…
being far deeper in importance,
and eventual substance…
it’s the vibrating part
of the “ouch” only.
Seeming to merely strip, 
and take away, at first…
it finally becomes
(almost blossoms into),
a butterfly from caterpillar,
mental sleight of hand,
magical moment.
A “ah, I see it now”,
as disillusionment
finally becomes enlightenment…
and a brand new
acorn of knowledge
germinates, rapidly,
within the garden of your mind.
All life-forms, 
and higher levels
are breached 
via painful passage…
we sacrifice to gain…
whilst searching darkness for light.
