Poems: Newborn

Sometimes i wonder…

Is it the summer wind that brushes through my hair on an evening walk?
The misty fog that blankets a cool evening?
The full moon that shimmers upon the untamed forests?
The ticklish laughter of a little child?
or is it the unchained melody of my soul reaching out to the ends of the earth, connecting to the very stars of the heavens ?

For when i dip this brush onto the canvas

I open up paradise
I am a newborn…
