Where am I from....?
For those who want their forefather’s legacy and spirit to be alive forever. I am dedicating this poem to your children, my children and to our grandparents who unknowingly but strongly influence us.
I Am From…
By Gabriela C. Sirbu
I’m from the Balkans and from the Carpatian Mountains,
And from where Danube meets the sea.
I am from human presence since the Neolithic there
Where homo-sapien grandma’ fought for me.
I am from Thracian tribes of Getaes and Dachs
Who fought the mighty Romans with though guts,
I’m from the Burebista – year 40 before Christ
And from King Decebal whom Trajan dust.
I am from caves where food was caught with cuspids
And from the pioneers of flight,
With heart and brain to fly in eighteen-hundreds
Today at Boeing still 'are known as bright.
I’m from Apollodorus’ Bridge across the Danube,
I am a fan of Tesla’s vision of setting weather to my wish,
Although not many understood his fiction,
But many’ve used in time a remote dish
I am from where you light a candle when grandpa dies,
You cry, you eat.
I am from where you are polite with others
But no one steps on you for your defeat
I am from where the pencil was invented
And Cybernetics, flutes, Enescu’s well known rhapsody,
In Paris, Queen Marie our courage represented
She reunited regions, and has her heart locked by the sea.
I am from where the flags show colors of the skies, and blood, and grains
And from where Insulin was rooted.
Am from where beauty of the soul is heard in plains,
And from when Nadia Comaneci’s ten (10) was trouble-shooted
I am from Dracula and Transylvania’s famous castle.
And where bestsellers in the stores have poured,
Where he, Eliade, was the first to master
A history of all religions in the world
I am from where Bill Gates finds talents
And from the graveyard where you laugh: quite strange.
And from where beauties Ferragano hires
To show his fashion on the stage.
I am from cabbage rolls, and wine, and Brandy
And from the firing circle dances of October feasts,
I am from “Oina”, the godfather of baseball
And from where Michael, Gabriel immersed.
I am from clay, from grass, from strands…from matter
But mostly I am from truth, from culture, caring, and white dove,
And from the loving heart and wisdom of grandmother
I am from action, and tradition, I'm from LOVE!
