Oh, to return

Egg Island by D.J. Ajakarta

Oh, to return

To that simpler time
snug and warm
safely enshelled
safe from the hateful.

Oh, to unbreak 
the egg
remain secure
and unknowing.

Oh, to return
back into the egg
Back to the silence
and safety of the calcium womb.

A tip of the hat to Tess Kincaid of Magpie Tales for this prompt.

  3. To unbreak the egg, something we've all wished for at one time or another.

  4. It surely has its appeal on occasion. You've captured it well.

  6. Think of all the challenges and triumphs we would miss .. maybe it's best not to go home again? I really enjoyed your poem.
