At Home

I always feel at home when by water, especially the ocean!

At Home

I smell the salty oceans

As my feet walk the path,

A path of golden sand

 

The sun hovers above,

The oceans’ crashing waves

As if strung on a clay diorama

 

My toes wiggle in the hot sand

Water laps my steaming toes

Cleansing them

 

A seagull cries

I watch the streak of beauty

Silhouetted by the setting sun

 

My heart

Intoxicated with the ocean

The place I call home.

I have to say it is a sweet thing to notice the little things that make a house a home
the sounds sights and smells that say to us we are home.though many dont know a home as beautiful as you describe.We all remember the dent in the wall the marks of each our height left by mothers and fathers as we grew.Home is as much a place in the mind as in the heart.

i always quote the amazing bits of writers poetry and this was amazing. You have a power packed method of description that enables the reader to paint a vivid picture and feel exactly what you want them to. I felt myself strolling along the beach and stunned at the beauty of the moment. I was lost in it and that doesn't happen alot when i'm reading peoples poems. So i applaud you for this beautiful poem and thank you for sharing. Magnificent

Lovely! This really speaks to me, as I am getting ready to ditch this cold weather and head for the ocean for the entire summer. :D

I live near the ocean, and this brought me right to the waves. I love the sea and this was a good tribute to it.

I have always loved the ocean too bad I don't live close to it. It is beautiful and untamed. It is calming and energizing. I love the imagery in this poem
