DC: Cocoon

imagine
that our bodies
are a cocoon
a sacred nest
for our heart
a protective
nurturing
safe haven
for our hearts to flourish 

within

i know
our hearts are but one of our physical organs

that live in our cocoon
yet

our hearts
are also spiritually wise and a link to more
than our physical existence

our bodies a cocoon
for our sacred heart

Born of Petals

It begins with a sketch:

then poetry and colors unfold:

imagine
being born in a cocoon made of petals

deep in the forest
treasures behold
petal by petal
cocoon takes hold
filled with protection
nutrition and more
essence is planted
her spirit and body are born
delicate
fragrant
sunlight imbues
pink lavender golds
body and spirit are fused
she
a blossom born of petals
