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
