Monday Poetry Prompt: Born in the…

Born in London

Born in London

I was born

where history

walks beside tomorrow,

where rain

kisses old stone,

and red buses

carry a thousand stories

through winding streets.

For five short years,

London

was my first heartbeat,

my first sky,

my first home.

Then life

called me north,

to mountains,

fjords,

and a language

that would become

my own.

Yet somewhere inside me,

the city still lives—

not as a place

I remember clearly,

but as the first page

of my story.

We are not only born

in a country.

We are born

into possibility,

into wonder,

into a journey

that carries pieces

of every place

our hearts

have called home.





With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
