A moment of mindfulness

It is breakfast time.
I gaze at the egg that sits
Right in front of me.

I take a moment
To be present and mindful.
I breathe in and out.

This egg is speckled.
It is light brown in colour,
With darker brown flecks.

It has been balanced
Gently on top of two forks,
Which form a criss-cross.

They are interweaved,
Holding the egg in its place.
How will I eat it?

Thank you, sweet chicken,
For sharing your egg with me.
Well, bon appétit!

I like to experiment with different forms of poetry, as well as some flash fiction.
