I Am From? Poem by Mai Murphy Venn

I am from a tender moment of long ago
I am from lovers that went different ways
I am from a mother that did not want me
I am from a father that never know of me
I am from a parting of mother and child
I am from a meeting of a grandmother love
I am from a house where I grew up in
I am from a street where I had friends
I am from school time I rather forget
I am from a town I love very dearly
I am from good memories and a bad one

I am in corridors of different mood

I am from corridors where I met sadness.
I am from corridors where I met joy.
I am from corridors where I met love.
I am from corridors where I met a bi.rth
I am from corridors where I met fear.
I am from corridors where I met wonder.
I am from corridors where I met awe.
I am from corridors where I met imagine.
I am from corridors where I met dreams.
I am from corridors where I met nightmares.




I am from the creative side of life

I am from different ways
of the world
I am from the electricity of thunderstorm
I am from the raging foam of the sea
I am from the land of no return
I am from the past, present, and future
I am from the here, there and everywhere
I am from the haunted house on the hill
I am from the dancing on the crossroads
I am from the time that everything was a sin
I am from yesterday, today and tomorrow
I am from the snowdrops, raindrop and dewdrop
