Claim Your Presence
Are you following
the dream you dreamt
before you were born
the one
that kept your ancestors
up at night?
Are you riding the waves
of the wind that rushes
through the trees
that welcomed you
into this world?
Are you humming the songs
that fluttered in the hearts
of those who loved
you
before you
were born?
Go out
and claim your presence
the one you’ve known
but still have years to find
