Coconut

Sun-beaten 

 and withered,

it is suspended in a bunch 

green-colored 

and rough to the touch.

But unless

completely cracked open,

it's gifts 

could never be discovered.

So many treasures 

are around us

and many more

are within,

but do we have the courage 

to crack ourselves

open...?

and persevere 

through the pain of it all
