Star child
By:
Jared Tyrel Pixler
You are singular and alone, entirely
unique
Sadness, joy, greatest mystery and only
truth
So much more than you imagine
Less than other people think
You are transcendent of emotion
The singularity of existence –
contained of nothing
A harbinger of faith
The collapse of greed and the door to
chaos
You are so far from the beginning
Never to reach the end
Continuing on, and on in time
Like an endless beam of starlight
A byproduct of destruction
Made of the ashes and tears of those
who came before
Crushing the momentum of the heavens
You are not a gift to the universe
Perhaps, a parasite, a cancer of the
mind
The blood in the veins and light in the
soul
The symbiont, necessary to existence
Neither good nor bad, dark or light
