my heart is an ever-expanding forest
singing songs of the wind
jumping like a deer
across cold water streams
at the first bloom of spring flowers
still…my heart is full of concrete jungles
city lights over the highway
a sea of red
accompanied by a music fest
of honks and screeching tires
the city never sleeps
when iron giants look on
great and unblinking
my heart is a world
is a work in progress
but most importantly
my heart is my home
my family’s garden
i am everything yet nothing
at the same time
a poem written by ancestors before me
i am history
