Cocoon

Night
and I lose sight of sense;
Intense feelings flow
and show
in all I do;

And you?
What of you?
Do you feel like me?
I rarely see the person I want to be...
A person whole,
A person free
A soul , lost like me...

Dawn breaks
and awakes the fear;
A tear
falls
and stalls the day
Away I cast my thoughts and share
a care
with all who listen
to a world in turmoil.

I return and cast the beast
into the wilderness;
It roams
and alone I stand before my destiny;
Alone I defy logic...
Alone I wait and see
Me
emerge
from the cocoon of my past
at last
I
fly
to a future beyond my doubt...
