Outsider

Took my first steps

On this corridor

Unleveled earthiness

Saw myself reflected

In a rush of dauntless energy

Becoming self aware

That I had just met my soul

It kissed my forehead

Leaving a star upon my brow

From birth to forever

With only God in between

Punctually swallowing

All of my blues

With such artistry

That when I glance at my children

I do it

With eyes closed

Because I too

Saw my life

Pointing back at me
