Treading with silent words - Haiku 'E'

Courtesy


Expressions speak loud
Treading with silent words
Heart or broken egg shell
 
~
 
Squint out of just birth
First blurred chicken vision
Bright life or butcher's knife



Words unsaid have a way to reach connected hearts, where as sometimes the same message communicated through words can lead to a broken heart! 

Stepping out into this world, is best compared to walking on egg shells. We have no clue what is in store for us. A happy future or a painful end.


This Haiku is written for the April A2Z Heights at Haiku Heights. The prompt for the day is 'EGGSHELLS'.
