Little Place On Earth

Let me share my journey
To being a scenic view
A drive along the coast
By the Indian Ocean blue

Where soft white sands
Stretches mile after mile
View of friendly dolphins
Their faces seem to smile

I inhale the salty sea air
View by the beach cafe
Surfers riding the waves
Really enjoying their day

Later on we drive along
Enjoying the scenic view
See kookaburra in a tree
Then a hopping kangaroo

Between city and ocean
Here my day finally ends
Along the coast to home
Glowing sunset descends

It’s a clean modern city
With sand, sea and surf
A state over in the west
My little place on earth

Oh Hope this is beautiful and before even checking to see where you are from I knew straight away that this poem was about my beloved Australia. I've never been to Perth (I've heard it is a very beautiful city) but really that kind of scenery could be anywhere in our beautiful country...thanks for sharing, this Aussie girl just loved it, especially the beautiful imagery, well done.

(smiles) Oh my gosh, I am so happy you wrote about your special home, sweet friend, I have never been to Australia but I know it must be so breathtakingly beautiful! (kiss on cheek) I love dolphins and coral reefs and I would dream of vacationing near where you live, sweet friend, I LOVE IT, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Hope, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Hello Hope

I think we must have been on the same wave length as I wrote a poem last night about Australia.  I've only been to the west one time but what I saw was truly beautiful.

Take care.......Sue

til then, i'll just put this in my library rely on the relaxing images you've given.

it's our struggle for identity that leaves us all unknown
