Where+I'm+From

"Where I'm From"

I am from the ocean, I am from the mountains, From the blue water and the clean air I am from the snow, piled on the bushes And from the mist, sitting on leaves I am from sea level, I am from altitude I am from the city, and I am from the suburbs

I am from cheesecake From hearing aids and sugar-free foods I am from height, I am from law I am from the water From the scholarly I'm from the shy And also, the outgoing

The memories, Smiling back from inside my thoughts, And from concealment under my bed

I live from these moments, Preserved in time I progress with aspirations to forge more.
