Where I am from, the skies glow
With the deepest of hues and the stars
Burn brilliant in the darkest of those.

Past my home through memories of morning coffee
In the sanctuary of this place I call 'where I am from'.

I am from the cool moss that kisses my feet in the day
and makes me shiver at night
