You Come From Earth

If you ever forget you you are
remember, you come from Earth 
and are made of star 

You were born of sea and sand 
and sprouted legs 
to walk on land

Next, you'll conquer the sky 
Unfurl your wings 
and try to fly.

The evolution and fluidity of our identities are so dynamic and I love how you captured these ranges so brilliantly in the simplicity of your poem here. Keep writing! Keep creating! I hope to see more of your poetry flying! All the Best, Michael
