Jeff Connelly Poet I do not know?

1st Epiphany

as i
lay outside
in a carriage
as a
baby

so said
they that
i started
to
cry

rushing
to see what
malady had
stricken
me

they
found
none but
me not
screaming

looking
into the cloudless
sky i was 
i saw
no one knows

laughing 
maybe god
was playing
with 
a yoyo

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 24, 2019 at 8:08 PM This made me chuckle. I really like it, it speaks to me. My family thought i was retarded (PC at the time) because I never cried as a baby, they surrounded me with bright colours etc to try stimulate me~ I think I was just born with the awe.

This, and the other epiphany poem really did happen to me. In both cases I will never know what they were meant to be.
