Silk is softly soothing
and can easily dispel
the wrinkles that need smoothing
from the ever-pressing swell—
you mustn’t leave too soon
for you could shrivel up and die
but stay in that cocoon
and you’ll never learn to fly.

Bob there is so much power in these words...oh the many that have been afraid to leave the cocoon and have never learned to fly. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie, I know, it's hard to give up security sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thought and topic to write on.... So much different :)
ReplyDeleteGood, great, fantastic :)

A great analogy! But, isn't it strange that struggling and misery too often provide a false sense of security when the cocoon is trapping the beauty of what will be? Why would anyone choose to simply hang there when they have the potential to fly!? ;)
ReplyDeleteBob,
ReplyDeleteA really delightful read. I loved the idea of the cocoon offering a place of safey and sanctuary.
Often in life, we are happiest with what is familiar.
Best wishes,
Eileen
