The glistening marble of immortality

The October 30, 2013 prompt for "Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  is
Your personal sculptor is carving a person, thing, or event from the last month of your life into the glistening marble of immortality.
Whats the statue and what makes it so significant?

The statue is a monarch butterfly emerging from its cocoon. The cocoon represents the earthly or material plain where my soul received it education and developed the spiritual attributes that will give it shape and cloth it in the spiritual realm. The monarch butterfly represents my soul finally breaking free from matter and ascending into the the world of God.

My soul is a Lepidoptera
hidden in the chrysalis of matter.

I am still working on this concept and attempting to create a poem. I have contemplated this idea off and on for several years. I have attempted to write poems about it. I am not happy with any of the poems, so I put the idea on the shelf for a while and work on something else. I always come back to the idea that the human soul is an unknown species of Lepidoptera. Perhaps I should attempt to use it in a story rather then writing a poem. Maybe I could express it better in a short story or novel.
