Appreciating my Origins- Where I am from

This is a piece of poetry I wrote in a confluence on "Appreciative Inquiry. Here it goes:

WHERE I AM FROM
I am from my mother's womb
       With my dashing father as the Groom
I am from joyful Kolkata
       And from Koti and from Kota
I was made in Delhi's Patli Gali
       With Ingredients from Bengaluru's Puttenahalli
I am a minx  and a sphinx
I beam with my brother's love
   I came into my own when he carried me to play
In our grandparents. coconut grove
I exist and so I am
  To celebrate I eat cheese and ham
And I cherish the doors that DID not slam.
I came to be a mother and  had to bother,
    and smother and ponder over that little bundle of wonder
I am the earth, wind and the fire
       and The Higgins-Boson whose proof mighty minds desire

I am more than where I came from  and there is more to where I came from
I came from nothingness and I aspire to go back to that  nothingness
In that nothingness await my precious sire and my mother and my brother
All eager to once more with  love drench me and to smother
and strip me of my ego and  show me the vastness of the nothingness

Gayatri
