I ascend unto this life,
and I appear to be something physical,
across the horizon.
As a hinge connecting me,
to all the things surrounding me,
I make my way through every environment of life.
This soulful interface,
is the cosmo-scape on-off ramp,
through which I let my soul out
and invite their soul in.
The lens through which I am seen,
and how I perceive them.
Actions, personal style, and behaviors are expressed, through the sign on my ascendant.
