The Cocooned Flower

A beautiful story with the love of colors and growth by Kayla John

By Kayla JohnPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

Black windows

black walls,

Oh, the corners feel so empty.

As I sit here with my eyes closed,

I see the dark outer space running in a spree of galaxies.

Purple lines glistening and white stars shooting,

turning my world into a suave tropical fantasy.

Deep breaths in, deep breath out.

Ahhh yes, this feeling has put a spell on me.

“La, la, la, la, la, la”

I hear the black bird singing,

as she flows swimmingly.

Intertwining with the dancing spring winds,

fly birdie fly through the gates of victory.

The morning light is out.

Behold, it’s gotten a hold of me.

Gently as I rise, opening my eyes, the warm yellow sun is shining daringly.

Today I skipped out of my belittling fortress

Chasing the life, I want to live ahead and see.

A soft linen breeze grazes my body as I run through the dewy grasslands,

feeling the freedom of the wavy blue ocean rub under my feet.

Paradise it’s paradise

The sweet sweet smell of milk and honey!

Paradise it’s Paradise

The enchanting perennials standing tall and mighty with a scent as pure as gold.

The Grass is Greener, this is a breath of fresh air.

This is A leap of faith in my enchanted Garden.

It’s all so divine, so different, so true.

All of the colors in my sight, colors red, yellow green and blue.

It speaks my truth.

Love, understanding and patience is my rule.

Like the fruitful trees I grew, I grew,

spreading Love inside and out.

My soul feels like the feeling of laughter.

My cocooned wings started to sprout

From buds to blossoms, a happily ever after.

I am the cocooned flower.

As My phases are many but my limits are few.

I was the egg and the brown seed, a life made new.

Nutrition and watering is what I need,

sealed with the heavenly words from above made to come true.

Every day that goes by, I outgrow my shell.

Today I remained humble,

But loud as a bell.

I then stood out like the beanstalk, green.

I leaned, I shifted, I yelled and screamed shouting, “today’s a new day for me.”

The journey began while I was on my own two crawling,

now trotting towards the peak.

Time and time has passed me by as I patiently waited for my moment to creep.

Time and time still going by, I’m up

no room for sleep.

Out came my prosperous yellow wings

still covered with a heavy coat.

There are orange spots of wisdom on me and the color of hope.

As I twist and turn with a blissful heart,

the extra skin started to shed.

The morning light is still shining on me,

Yes, I’m ready to be led.

The night has passed, as I woke up, I found joy in the morning.

I’m freed, I’m freed and ready to win, I felt my blood flow flowing.

Beautiful is me the cocooned flower I’m ready to fly away.

Strong and courageous I am, I am.

Black bird I’m coming your way.

I’m ready to experience the true beauties of this life,

but first it started with me.

The true colors inside of me and outside too, will too set me free!

I am the Cocooned Flower
