My cocoon has come

My cocoon has come



If you only knew the things

that been going on

You see God has me both in the eye of the storm

and cradled in his arms

Nights have been restless and long

Trying to find a place to belong

I haven't written in a lil bit

Right now, I tell you I am the poem

I am the song

I am living the words

Today my pen is asleep

Sowing is my sacrifice

Infinite stories I will reap

In your eager window

Just let my rain seep

Calm your soul and just

Let yourself fall into the deep

Dreams sometimes seem

Better than reality

Now that's a fact

That vivid one that you know of

I wish I could go back

Stay a lil while longer

Let that passion grow stronger

Just having a glimpse into that portal

Was such a honor

Because I have to fight demons on the daily

My relationship is failing

Instead of healing me it ails me

I want to sail into the pacific sunset

Revert back to that exploring child

B-more in the rear view, behind me 3000 miles

Through these trials I become better

My obstacles becomes my treasure

I'm about to receive an abundance

By this world cannot be measured

Just by keeping it together

Learning to be wise and discern

Don't pull me out my furnace mother

Let your child burn

My cocoon time has come

I can no longer hide or run

The birth of a new being has begun

The work in progress is far from done

The sun is a little further, in this cold summer

The son has brought me closer, grace's blanket I'm under

Translucent walls made of web has encased this man

Predators can't breach this home, gestating is his plan

I'm becoming an evolved version of what I used to be

These financial chains can no longer hold me

They turned off my electric

But even in darkness I am free

I see everything in the devoid of light

With the pupils of a owl I write

Even in my own plight

Poetry, I'm here for you, so it will be alright.
