Toxic State

In a cocoon wrapped in silk, All that I can be is encased. Lying there in dormancy, can't get out Oblivious of all that's outside. This toxic state has me mesmerized! Bounded tightly with silken threads, Stuck in the same old rut; But something new is taking place, Patiently forming, growing, shaping. Should I be surprised at all, in this toxicity? 10 lines Poetry Contest Deadline: Sunday, January 01, 2017 12:00:00 AM Sponsored by: FJ Thomas
