home again




home again
back in the wood
we left the sea behind us
we'd have brought it if we could


the sound of the ocean
in the wind the smell of salt
the feel of the sand
came to a screeching halt
as we turned North on the Highway
and
a little to the West
we always say
Farewell
to the house
that's just the best

it's plain and  it's simple
but it has all that we need
a view of the ocean

and the sound of the waves


as they crash on the shoreline
just a few steps away


stand strong number seven
when the winds blow over you
when the ocean laps upon the dunes
that are there to shelter you
we'll see you once again
when the leaves start to fall
here in the wood
where the trees are all so tall
if I climb to the top of one maybe I can see
the little blue house
that stands by the sea......

  1. I am insanely jealous of your vacay at the beach! I haven't been in AGES, and whenever I see pics from the Outer Banks, it always brings back wonderful memories of summer vacations.

    So happy that you were able to get away, enjoy some time with your sister, and play {and relax} at the beach...

    Happy Belated Birthday, dear!!

  5. well written !
    i like the color of the sand & dunes; these houses are so close to the water... isn't it a bit dangerous by very high tides ?

    we live near the coast but i wish we lived BY the ocean... i was born & raised on the coast anyway. i need the water.
