Atlantis

A poem.

I gazed up at Atlantis

As I passed through

A speck of dirt in a

Cave of diamonds

The sun celebrated her too

Tossing light up against

Her glass tower like a ball

Which bounced back down

A crystal waterfall

Casting a spotlight on

A shimmering fountain and

Golden people perched on its knee

For a moment I felt

Impossibly unimportant

Drowning in it all

Then I stopped walking

For I could no longer take a step

Being an imposter now

I felt I should run away

Into exile

But I stayed and

Whispered to myself

I breathe

Therefore

I belong
