Where I am From

I am from the seas and skies seen through the airplane windows

From the Algorithms on my fingertips

I am from the mountains and nature that inhabits it

I am from the streets of berlin and the police on lookout

From the snow capped lands of Iceland to the humid forests of Costa Rica

I am from the trees swinging from base to base

I am from the sweat that drips down my neck

From my heart pounding from sheer exhaustion

I am from the colors that surround me

I am from the experiences shared with my dog

From the farewells of many friends

I am from the sadness that looms over me

From the excitement that tries to break free of its curse

I am from classic piano notes that encapsulate my existence at night

I am from the words scribed in my journal

I am from the winds that settle the thunderstorm

From tape, glue, and staples

I am from countless laughs and cries from my friends

From the spontaneous days of exploration

I am from the world
