Poems

My place

I feel the soft sand engulf my feet,
A smile upon my face.
I hear the waves crashing down,
Knowing this is my place.

I see small castles built in the sand,
And the smell of salt in the air.
I can hear people laughing,
And feel the wind lift up my hair.

I watch dogs walking with their owners,
And people running around.
Beach towels lay everywhere,
And shells and stones on the ground.

I look around at the big open beach,
Viewing this beautiful space.
The sand and water makes it feel like home,
The beach is my place.
