The Outsider

The world seemed so different, so austere;
what happened to cause all to change?
It made me different and filled with fear;
what had made all reality rearrange?

It looked all the same, but I was not;
I was suddendy out, looking in.
How did it get to what it had got;
when did all changes begin?

Was it the ouside world which changed;
or was change restricted to me?
Was my physical self rearranged;
become something different to be?

I was more than just a physical being;
my soul was attached to Eden above
though the connection was unseen;
the energy self was governed by Love.

I began to clearly understand;
why reality seemed to dissipate;
realizing who’s totally in command;
caused even my pride to deflate.

My soul is attached to an eternal being;
even as my body wastes away;
when the body dies; the soul, freeing;
I’ll get a new one someday.

The physical body is destined to die;
and death is the great soul divider;
then heaven gives death its reply
and I will no longer be an outsider.
