There is nature peaking through the cracks
sprouting out of the cracks in the sidewalks
shining through the gaps in the skyscrapers
and in the city of steal and glass
I am reminded of home
taken back to a place where
open space takes my breath away
and fills my soul with a contentment
I have known nowhere else
Home: the best four letter word I know
Blue skies: the background of my dreams
Flora and Fauna: a reminder of the beauty in the details
The horizon: my future laid out before me, undiscovered
