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 adore the awesomeness of the visuals you put in front of me. It's so easy to picture, and so beautiful. I like this one a lot. My favorite part is probably the last stanza, second line. "Intoxicated with the ocean", although I enjoyed many other portions of this poem. :)

I love this!!! Last year when I went to San Diego Dad stopped by a beach and then Reece and I went and played in the waves. It was so much fun! (After it kind of sucked though because I didn't have anywhere to change so I had to go in my clothes and then I was covered in salt, :P) And then the next beach we went to we surfed there, and we saw a WILD dolphin! Lol. Gorgeous poem! The forest, fields, and lake/creeks are my home but still I love this:)

It looks great. I wish I had an ocean by my house. I should take a picture of my window view, it's a huge contrast. This poem is beautiful.

You are very lucky. I was station on both coastlines with the Army. Nothing better the a day at the beach. I understand the feelings and emotion of this poem. I wish I could take a morning walk and be with the sea. A outstanding poem.
