Identity Poem (Untitled)

Posted in Identity Poems by Alexis on April 22nd, 2008

I am from the meadows and lonely moors, from sunshine and rain.
I am from the vast library of pasts and future dreams.

 
I am from the the lavender waves, the blood red roses.
I am from books and dry wit, lawyers and teachers and wanderers.

I am from individual peculiarity and family unity,
From the stories of war times and peace times.

I am from cynicism and faith, contradictory yet co-existing.
I’m from all over the world, of diverse cultures and planes and languages.
 

I am from boxes of fading photographs and ancient records,
The family stories, handed down from generations.
 

I am all these, and myself as well.

    I really like the tone & mood you set for this, as well as the diversity encompassed, and the sense of history

    “…I am from the the lavender waves, the blood red roses….”

    You’ve painted a vibrant image of yourself with words. Well done.
