Where I’m From By Lyla

I am from desert sand and silk finery. From legions of ships crossing the sea. From the smelting pot of old.

I am from thousand of thoughts becoming solid. Wonder, oh, wonder. It came undone.

I am from the ocean. A fish that swims eternally. Hearing the waves breath, What seems like a whispered secret of old.

I am from the crusades. A battle for the holy land. I am from blue eyes and blonde hair. From a gene lost in the centuries.

I am from the dark. From a movie set and camera. From a trembling hand holding a microphone.

This is what I am. A picture of the same. A wish that comes to be.
