Barnacle

This
disorienting world is not for faint hearted
even
for a new born chick wears soft padding
parents
are down below, calling, encouraging
cold
sea winds pummeling the cathedral cliff
your shivering existence is to barely hang on
that
nest on precipitous is never a safe home
Jump! and keep your little wingtips stretched
Believe! your faith will guide you to the ground
life
is cracking of eggshell, born out of breaking
second
birth to know the senses of pain and death
dropping,
rolling, and bouncing off rough rocks
like
a falling dice down into unknown, into abyss
