Where my love is found
Home? He laughed out loud
When they asked him where he'd go
On his holiday
I feel more at ease
Walking on a lonely beach
Or in the forest green
Where the sea's whisper
Sings me a sweet lullaby
And soothes me to sleep
Fish nibbling my toes
There a crab waving a Hi!
And the broad blue sky
Breakers they'll applaud
At my visiting again
I know my heaven
The sand in my toes
The fresh salt wind in my eyes
With the scent of brine
Then there's the dark woods
With the tall whispering pines
I crave that feeling
Rustling of wild things
Now checking just who I am
Owls hoot the all clear
Creatures wander round
For they are not frightened of me
As insects buzz by
The stream ripples on
Little birds twitter and dive
Such place could I die
All my stress is gone
My happiness is found there
Of which do I dream
But you're right he said
I am going home once more
Where my love is found

It is a blessing when one can be alone in the wilderness and feel completely at home.
ReplyDeleteWhen the world feels like your home it is very special - i think it is a feeling inside - a belonging..wherever that maybe
ReplyDeleteI think the earth holds a memory as we hold one of it. It welcomes you Robin as you touch it lovingly.

ReplyDeleteI loved this. Made me feel like going to my special place in the mountains of Taos, NM. I guess that's my second home, I feel loved there. Lovely writing Robin.
