Wedged in a tight space,
dark surrounds and comforts me.
Soul screams to be free.
I push against walls.
Fragile membrane splits and breaks.
Light warms my cold face.
Closed eyes now open.
World beckons me to waken.
Unsteady, I stand.
Amazing. You manage to remind me of the life that exists in eggs. The chickadees…I always forget them. 🙂
I like it!!
