Come out now

There's a crack in the shell

The sunlight is waiting here

Beyond the horizon

Of the crack in the shell

Spread these wings

And take this new breath

Driven by an ember of hope

I am emerging

From the shell

And I am so grateful for the

Gift of air that fills my lungs

So humbling to feel this enduring moment

Emergence from this prison shell

Drinking in the liberation

My satisfaction

Was always here

Waiting to engulf me

And always will be

Eternally

I can see my path before me

All I have to do is take these steps

I know I will stumble

But I’ll keep spinning the earth

Beneath my feet

Struggling out of the shell

That’s outlasted its purpose

Enveloped in the warm glow

That was once just a glimmer through a hole

Immersed in this unrestricted blessing

Brought to tears

And joyous laughter

This is eternity

No need to worry

The sun was always waiting right here

Only birth can conquer death

The birth of something wholly new

The wellspring of creation

Driven by an ember of hope

I leave the shell with this precious gift

All the troubles and all the blessings of existence

This potential is turning kinetic

Taking these first steps in my new form

Just to feel my breath breathing

Soaked in a fountain of humility

Atop this arc

I sit inhaling

And exhaling

My breath propels me

Through the sea

The sea of living life

Through all the troubles and all the blessings of the world

The sunlight was always shining here

Waiting to engulf me

Beyond the horizon

Of the shell

That I am struggling from

Emergence into the world

I am emerging

From the shell

And I am so grateful for the

Gift of air
