within all of us
there is an ecosystem
an entire world
of thoughts
living, dead,
with branches
like trees
or rivers,
stretching
far into our pasts,
through our presents and off
into our futures
somewhere
in this vast space
of us
there are areas
that seem barren
forgotten
tundras,
snow blowing,
lifeless at first glance
but the ideas
that sprout here
are the strongest
the most resilient
the most magical
