Where I am From

I am from sandals
From No-Boundaries and velvet
I am from the ocean floor
Powerful deep and full of life
I am from the dandelion
The African-Violets that bloom all over

I am from cakes and ice cream
And large from parents
I am from moving meals
From mute and artistic

I am from Lutheran and Nazerene
I'm from NE and mountains
Peas out of the pod and pineapples
From the speeding on the highway
The snowstorm and the car wrecks

I am from these snapshots-
Pictured when Spring came-
Dandelion under a porch.
