I am me
I am from the desert sands
Were we held thanksgiving every year
From the rolling hills
That scattered with the overpowering wind
From the unyielding smell of chlorine
To the delicious scent of grandma's goulash
I am from the ocean
That crashes onto the shore claiming all in it’s path
With the salty air that assaults your taste buds
I am from the Trillium
whose leaves give life
And The unbreaking Palm
Whose leaves fall from the sky
I’m from The sweet and spicy flavor of jalapeno jelly
And the gardens we grew them from
From Sara
The ray of light that was in my life
And Bea
The loving grandmother who was always there
I’m from the singing trees
And the Deafening Silence of the never ringing phone
From the police sirens and screaming neighbors .
I’m from Safe and sound
With the necklace of a dead friend
And her joyous laughter .
I am from traveling every Two weeks
To see family who won't put in the efort
I am from memories that stick like glue
Even when I don’t want them
I am all of this and more
I am me
This is a five sences I am Poem.
