The Cocoon

The cocoon she had formed over time had cracked open. She was aware but consciously ignorant about it. A strange mix of discomfort and anxiousness was forming a deadly potion on her mind. Her sane being wanted to restrict exposure to the wild world, but the devil inside wanted to explore the uncertainties.

She floated in a sea of ecstasy as the first ray of externalities braced her soul. It felt exquisite, different and refreshing, from an otherwise mundane life. For once she wished to use all her might to leap forward, breakaway and free her soul. The new world was waiting with open arms, but will she succeed in breaking free from her cocoon? Only time would tell

  1. Very well composed and written. Breaking out of the cocoon and exploring the world outside is always so alluring.You left the piece on a cliff hanger.I guess this one of the few excerpts from your novel.

  2. Oh, that. Yes I made me. Actually, For me nature is everything. I am a nature worshipper. And the moon is my love, whom I want to get. This is what I have represented in the picture. A girl born out of nature and reaching to the moon.

  3. You are a damn good artist I must say. What imagery, what concept and what thought. Moon is my favorite too. Loved the thought and the moon and you in that picture look beautiful ❀️

  4. Thank you, Shantanu. My earlier poems will reveal it all. You must read them… if you have time 😊
