Cracking The Shell

To anyone strolling by

Being carried by their own direction

You will notice only by chance

An accident of pure coincidence

Into the swirling tributary of a lifetime

Hollowed away in gestation

In your nest

A time capsule waitingfor the light

Seedling in the sap

Waiting on the warmth

That your fetus has forgotten

Take a look at what you have created

With a mere exhalation

Sitting beside you on the bench

There all along

When you're ready

Open yourself completely

Awaken fully
