As I laid in bed this morning, luxuriating in the warmth on my skin, knowing that in a moment I would rise and begin a new day, the seeds of the poem below came to me. I rose, grabbed some coffee and wrote it down. If you like it, I invite you to check out “A Grateful Man’s Poetry” at http://agratefulmanspoetry.com/
Cocoons and Sunlight
We emerge from warm cocoons each morning
A new chance to spread wings and fly
What we do in our waking hours
Defines who we are and why
Hide in shadows of fear and shame
Deny the world and ourselves ‘til we die
Or share the glorious gifts we’re given
All the beauty and love we have inside.
