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
