Answer:

The correct answer is "transformation"

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem "The Swan Flies Away" by Kabir depicts the events that happens once life has come to an end, stating that "The Swan Will Fly Away All Alone", "As the Leaf Falls from the Tree" and "When Life Span is Complete". The swan is a metaphor of transformation, with the author using a swan flying to describe a soul leaving the body when death is near, transforming its essence into something greater. At the end the author states that "He Finds the Lord Soon", which is the end of the journey for the swan.
