"Cocoons" 66" x 42" Detail  Oil on Canvas by John WorldPeace A partial interpretation from the artist's transient perspective COCOONS If I have been reincarnated on my universal rounds, How many bodies have I left rotting in the ground? How much flesh and bone have I left sealed up in tin? Millions and Billions of planets and moons hold my remains in metallic cocoons. Ashes to Ashes and dust to dust, I chose the cleansing fire at the end of this euphoric dream. John WorldPeace November 18, 1990
