An Egg

An egg
The beginning of all lives
Its contents
Unknown.

Chicks
Young and immature
Food, space, water
Fight.
But when night falls,
Like the calm sea
They all sleep
In the same nest
Happily ever after.

Birds
Wings
Flight.

An eagle
Courage, power, vision, pride
A crane
Happiness, good luck, long life, peace
Identities found
Each carrying their own
Life mission.
Away
They fly.
Over the rainbow,
When they cry,
Will we hear them speak
Of their untamable past?
All the tears and laughter?

Just like an egg
The answer
Unknown.
