Fragile
This egg will remain a secret until it hatches
I will hold it just so
Not too tightly
Not without fear
I will appreciate its eggness
I am not going to rush it
To be anything
Other than what it is until it is not
I have already known that
It will eventually
Break the shell
It will hatch
And I will not be able to put it back together
Into an egg
So
I am going to cherish
Its newness
Its warmth
Dreams and hopes and possibilities it holds inside
I will hold the egg in my quiet place
Because it is just for me
And it is so dear
No need to expose it to extreme heat nor harsh wind
I will hold it in my heart
Gently
Lovingly
What will it be?
I hope I like what I meet
Just as beautiful as precious as this egg
I will wait for the opening
The egg tucked in the folds of my heart
