I am here, the same spot where we met;
  I have staked claim to this piece of sand.

It is comfort and serenity,
  as I walk the shores that surround it.

The air is warm and the sun is shining,
  melts away all of my worries and opens doors.

I come here often as I can,
  it is my place of inspiration.

A place where I am free and my mind is at ease,
  to ponder the world and life at will.

I look out and see the waves crash,
  and watch the people go by.

There is a story in it all,
  I pick and choose which to capture.

I staked my claim to this spot in the sand,
  it is where I go to become inspired.

Freedom is an amazing gift!!!

Loved the poem.

Loved this line... "There is a story in it all,
  I pick and choose which to capture"

And loved the great concluding line.

Hi, Lady Lisa! It's been awhile!

"I come here often as I can,
  it is my place of inspiration.

A place where I am free and my mind is at ease,
  to ponder the world and life at will."

~ I, too, have such a place where I am free to be me!

A delightful write. Thank you for sharing your special place with your readers!

Loving hug and a smile,
Linda

I am here,
the same spot
where we met;

I have staked claim
to this piece of sand.

It is comfort and serenity,
as I walk the shores.

The air is warm
and the shining sun
melts away my worries
and opens doors.

I come here
often as I can,
it is my place

where I am free
my mind at ease,
to ponder the world
and life at will.

I look out
and see the waves,
and watch
the people go by.

There is a story in it all,
I pick and choose which.

I staked my claim
to this spot in the sand,
it is where I go
to become inspired.

Freedom
is an amazing gift

A thought on your poem . . .

Thank you all for your words again of support for my writes.  I love this spot on the sand where I go, it is always peaceful there no matter what.  I was just there this weekend sharing it with an old friend.
