An Egg

by Thomas R.

It hovers gently above the plain
Luminous and Enigmatic
Monumental yet wispy
Inspiring both calm and anticipation

Years went by as it hovered there
Leaders rose and fell
Dreams given birth and death
People wait and wonder

Humanity expanded on to Mars
Found all the life a Universe can handle
Had their fill of all its deaths as well
Yet the mystery on Earth remained

It hovers gently above the plain
A trillion-year wait soon to hatch
We await the promise of rebirth and joy
Of the awe-inspiring sight soon to appear

Now quietly we pray that the awe it brings will be kind
