Cocoon

might I draw up
into this cocoon
find warmth
safety
quiet

time to go apart
find renewal
strength
to seek my purpose

then
might I emerge
she who is intended
to inhabit this shell
to indwell
the sinew
and flesh--
to walk these bones
to action
satisfaction

then
might I fulfill
the worth of the matter
I consume
of this universe

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I love this poem. It reminds me of my own 'burn-outs' and what I've had to do, more than once, to refresh and start anew.

Thank You,
Pat

(sigh) Oh Virginia, I feel we all need a little time every now and then to feel protective in our cocoons just as we all need to emerge and fly for destiny whenever the weather we face permits! (smiles) This is wonderfully said, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
