Where I Am From: A Poem

Today, I wanted to share something special with you.

Although a while has passed since I first wrote it, this small poem has stuck in the back of my mind for several years. Often I find myself repeating the words to myself, at night and during the day when I am alone, though scarcely do I know why. I wanted to share it with you, this poem that means so much to me.

Perhaps, through reading, you will feel what I felt, when I wrote Where I Am From.

Where I Am From

I am from the heaven’s lull,

The endless beauty of the sky;

I am from the starlit soul,

Where hearts have peace, where dreams can fly.

I am from the ocean’s pull,

Where flying foam and crystals leap;

I am from the crying gull,

Where longing wakes inside the deep.

I am from the mountains tall,

That climb above the crisp cold air;

I am from the night-bird’s call,

And when you seek me I’ll be there.

I am from your Heart’s desire,

And when you call me, I shall come;

And when you come, I’ll lift you higher,

So you can see where I am from.
