This is a literary genius. Can I stand up and bow to my love? The versatility of you as a poet sometimes amazes me beyond my five senses. The eggs with hatch someday. Souls would fly free, towards our infinitely powerful sun, to borrow a bit of its fire. Hatch! Fly! Achieve!

Given these two lines “self-made

A message of hope that we all need these days. I like “egg” as a verb as you start this out…..and every line after was captivating!

Very well done. Cracking the layer or the-very hard eggshell around your own heart, to let light and love in. I love the descriptive details;and your use of alliteration “calcium carbonate crystal” and many other ‘C’ sounds fro alliteration/consonance. They make your piece very strong and decisive. The one at the end is done very well too.
