Where I'm From

I am from mountains
Rolling, gentle giants
Mother Earth's hips and curves
The beautiful body of Gaia
Sweet Mother Earth

I am from grassy dirt
Between trees and under grass
My toes curling over the soft ground

I am from forests
Shaded by the redwood giants
I smell soft pines and warm Earth
I am from where fairies dance
Visible only to those who believe

I am from night
Owl's wings flapping as I run up
To catch a glimpse of beautiful mystery
I am from stars
Shimmering veil across the sky
Spirits and stories sprawled out in constellations

I am from moonlight
Gleaming rays of silver
Sweet smile of the goddess
Looking at the universe with joy

I am from Snow
Gentle floating down
Landing in my hair
Right in front of my face
On the tip of my nose
Each snowflake different from the next

I am from wind
Graceful whistling
Blowing, gusting through trees
Blowing leaves up into the air
Into a spiral dance of green, brown and orange

I am from fire
Warm energy
Blazing with passion
Free of restraints
Giving life

I am from the circle
No beginning
No end
Continuous
Going on forever
In the circle of Mother Earth
