An Empty Cocoon

Dignified dreams
in a diminished home
takes time though
the dreams will come true
with the tethered dreams and desires
and the swirling unfurled emotions
a cocoon, 
plays a rising tune
gives the warmth of sun
and calmness of moon
paints a beautiful scene
with a brush clean
that exudes the green beyond the screen
sings a song of hope
offers a rope to climb the slope
being granted the strength to fly
to the weeping soul, high above the sky
an empty cocoon grins there
swaying in the air...

This is good for Easter as well if one thinks of the Empty Tomb of Jesus.
