My Happy Place

Things flow differently up here
Where the water is just too clear
As the soft sand slips between your toes,
You will feel the sense of stress suddenly goes
Oh how the pristine water outshines the moon,
Boats sit peacefully,
As flowers start to bloom.
Have you ever visited such a magical place?
From the abundant marine life to the tropics of the forest,
And the sweet sound of the starlings singing as the night falls.
As I lie in bed, I feel the burning sting from the sunlight of the day,
And drift gently off to sleep, listening to the waves lap in as the ocean takes a deep breath
This is the place for me
Palms sweep over the beach,
Everything feels free.
Going back home is the last thing I would do,
I can’t go,
It's too soon.
