Poem - The Beach Down The Road

 
I go there all the time 
What's nice 
Is I've realized I'm so close to the ocean 
It's such a bright happy place 
Travelling there 
Doesn't take long 
Around the street and down a long road 
Buildings and houses and lots of people 
Then there's more trees and nature 
Through the native trees and bushes 
Exists a little piece of countryside by the ocean 
They look like really relaxing places to live 
With their traditional farm cottage looks 
Through the trees you see glimpses of the water, bright and blue in the daylight
Around the bend we see sheep in a paddock
Sometimes horses 
There's the little jetty for fishing people 
And then the long park and walk by this ocean inlet 
A cozy little cafe is now on the corner
There's always bright happy people here and there at this shore 
The bright sunlight makes the deep blue ocean water sparkle 
We always see some seagulls and pelicans 
There's usually crows 
I love to sometimes see Ospreys or sea eagles 
It's a nice place to have a snack and chat and listen to the small waves swooshing and crashing gently and admire the views of the vast forest in the distance and the far far mountains. 
Where it's charming to watch the sunset in yellow and gold over the mountains disappearing to the west. 
Mainly you feel surrounded by nature here,
Maybe even a large area of pristine nature.
To the left is the long, long grey bridge 
You hear birds and the ocean waters 
You never know what tide you're going to catch - high tide or low tide 
You love all the trees and greenery 
There is a few tiny real beaches with sand 
So nice to sit on and touch and draw in the sand 
Sometimes this is a nice place for saying hi to strangers or once in a while even having a little chat and making a half stranger-half friend 
It's a great place for pet dog watching 
And who doesn't love dog watching?  
You cannot go out and see dogs going for a walk without catching their super happy bright mood 
You love to go to the edge of the concrete wall 
And gaze into the water 
Because sometimes you see fish 
And to me wild fish seem so enchanting 
We love watching the speed boats and jet skis go past some time 
And see the few boats anchored drifting on the water 
At evening
You will see the bats overhead flying from the south 
Completely silently 
The seashore stays with you 
Even after you've gone home 
Like its become a part of you 
And you know 
You'll keep going back 
So many more times
