Where I Am Home
A smell of sea salt animates
Childhood memories, my mind translates
My soul’s abode, patiently awaits
A sense of comfort the air creates
Rhythm of waves, crashing onshore
Sand beneath feet, my toes explore
Chill of seawater, emotion’s vigour
Mist of the ocean, my thoughts restore
The sun kisses the horizon
Wishing to forestall
Childhood memories, my mind translates
My soul’s abode, patiently awaits
A sense of comfort the air creates
Rhythm of waves, crashing onshore
Sand beneath feet, my toes explore
Chill of seawater, emotion’s vigour
Mist of the ocean, my thoughts restore
The sun kisses the horizon
Wishing to forestall

Thank you David. So close to my heart. My favorite time of day was about 5 PM and everyone else had gone for the day and my mom and I would quietly lay on the blanket and listen to the sounds of the tide rushing in. I tried to capture that here in a way. I appreciate your kind response.

Wonderful, as I was hoping others could experience it as I did and still do! Thank you for your kind words.

I am glad it offered you a chance to remember:) I began with the smell of salt air as that is what brings my memories rushing back. Thank you Josh, as always.

If ever I had the pleasure of seeing the sea first hand
I imagine it to be just this way.
Beautifully descriptive poetry...

Thank you. May I advise??? Please find a way. I don't believe there is anything more powerful, remarkable or significant than that of a vast ocean with waves crashing on the shore... :) I thank you again for your kind words Kasai.

Please do. It would be such a shame not to see. I've always wanted that experience, breathtaking I'm sure. One day I'll find myself there...
