Broken

An egg cracking
One crack
Another
And another
And it's broken

Am I an egg?
Shiny and put together on the outside
But my inside is jelly
Formless 
Needing to be contained

Getting hit with my sin 
And my shell cracks
Hit with grace 
It cracks more
Thinking I can just be cracked 
And heal myself

Really I need to be completely
Broken

Is the egg scared to break?
Seeing the hit coming but
Unable to do anything

Am I but an egg in the hand of 
The Creator?

Am I part of something bigger
But I must crack completely and be
Broken
To be of any use?

An uncracked egg doesn't do anything
But look pretty 
And uncracked egg doesn't 
Nourish
Contribute

An egg needs to be broken 
To be mixed with other things 
And turn into something new

Behold 
I will make all things new
Says the Baker

But I need to break first
