Cocoon´s Long Journey
Kabusa Böcker 2011
ISBN 978 91 7355 159 5
The station master lifts and shakes,
he turns it while examining.
In the bundle someone wakes,
what on earth is happening?
Goodness me what have we here,
all alone this winter night.
I wont leave you have no fear,
upon this rack half out of sight.
Somebody, with heavy steps, went to give away their little bundle – another finds it in a completely different place. Cocoon’s long journey is about leaving one country and finding safety somewhere else.
Cocoon unwillingly faces the new world. It takes both time and love before he can trust the station master who takes care of him. But subsequently they become friends!
Cocoon is nearing what he seeks,
a friendly wind upon his cheeks.
No-matter where it is you roam,
the road is shorter going home.
The hand holding his is safe and warm,
protection from the winter storm.
For if you travel with a friend
All is well till journey’s end.
