where am i now
that i have not been before?

i can step into the yard
and pull grapes from our vines;
i can pick raspberries and cherries
plump and full of rain and sunlight
or grab an apple from the tree
that i can see
from the kitchen window

where am i now
that i have not been before?

i can step out my door
and eat tomatoes in the breeze
i can pull basil and mint
to crush fragrant in my fingers

where am i now?
i am where i belong.
