I stand in the shower
Looking at the veins splaying across the tops of my feet
Like roadmaps to the heavens
Branches of life
The veins carry my life
But within them is carried the life of my ancestors as well
Our entire essence
Trapped in my toes
They once looked down and saw their veins as well
Never knowing it would lead to me
I imagine the lives that came before me
Did they fight in war?
How did they love?
How did they hurt?
The people that had no idea that they would eventually lead to me
I wonder what they think now
Their blood in my veins
I often wonder where the life in my veins will lead me
How will I continue this legacy
And what about those after me?
Where will my veins take the world?
