Gloria in Eggshellsis
By Mark Stucky
Will my shell crack open
from external stresses?
Will my soul ooze out to sizzle over fire.
Will my soul simply rot inside my shell,
forgotten and leaving inside
a core of putrid mess?
Will my soul hatch through my shell,
transforming and breaking through
into a joyfully chirping new life?
My soul has sizzled at times,
burned by flames of misfortune.
My soul has rotted at times,
despairing over the global future.
Will my soul still hatch in time
for renewed life and glory?
