Cocooned in its own chrysalis,
As the body covers the soul
As the mother wombs her baby,
Tender leaf waits for the bloom.

i find this very interesting especially your second line “As the body covers the soul”
because i’ve always seen it as the other way round, the soul covering the body which to me accounts for aura which we can detect in some people but certainly not in all.
Sorry for going on but you set me thinking.
A fine offering indeed.
Best Wishes

True, for some, a very chosen ones, the sanctity of the soul reflects itself …the aura as you’ve mentioned. But, I think, for mundane earthlings like us, we fail to discover the essence of the soul and, it remains covered by the body.
Your words really made me think too… 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful thoughts…. 🙂
