How To Crack a Coconut
How to Crack a Coconut
By Brett Somers
Written 3-15-16
Inside me
Lies a fresh coconut
Sweet water
Hard shell
Flesh that deceives
The true heart of a coconut
The sweetness inside.
Shell of pride
A fear that won’t subside
Shell of rage
Heaps of a critic’s eye.
To crack a coconut
Is no small task
It takes will
And nearly a woodman’s ax
But this coconut inside
More challenging than that.
An ax of focus
On one’s self
And the waters start gushing about
Electrolytes of love
And the feelings come out
Glowing growing ball
No more shell now
You can enjoy it all.
