Each of you inspired the poem and it was a privilege to translate your experiences into this piece. The excerpt of the poem on the mural is below. The full poem is attached. I will record the poem in front of the mural soon and there will be a QR code to scan to view the performance.

“We are the city kissed by the sun.

We are an affirmation of our ancestors and a declaration of hope for future generations.

Colorado Springs ignites and tends the fire in us to live authentically.

There is Tesla coil electricity in the air. We are charged particles crackling with pride and passion as we power this city.

Colorado Springs is where the unrelenting spirit of creativity dances with the authenticity of humanity.

May we never lose our magic." -Ashley Cornelius
