translucent blue

Delicate this robins egg within the hands of a child
Me
So long ago I remember climbing that ancient tree
Finding
This so incredible fragile warmth
Tiny in the palm of my hand
A living shell holding blue promise
As I set it back within its nest
And waited days for its mothers return
Not knowing then that she never would
Because of my scent
....
Again I hold an egg
Fragile as a dream
Love she has for me
Its warmth of heaven bliss
Scorching so very deep
This shell of translucent blue
So careful must I grasp
Even in open hands
Must I yet hold
While my very soul weeps
As silently I scream
