"Life"


Life is like a cocoon
waiting for a door to open�
To unleash the new changes
from the past to the present�
Letting go the old
and beginning anew,
While moving forward
in Quantum's leap�

Never knowing
what mysteries to encounter,
One must chance the risk,
Holding the key at hand�
Open a book
and take time to discover
what lessons are to be learned...

Remember the old
have stories untold,
Paving the road ahead�
The cocoon has left
behind an empty shell�
But history has made its mark�
For the duckling became a swan,
How so the larvae the butterfly,
What shape has the man?

To leave the womb
to become a man
is not enough to be�
But leaving his accomplishments
for the entire world to see�

Life is more than just a cocoon

To me�
