- holiday words -

the west, my west

the familiarity of the crows,

the warm sandy earth,

bring me back to

my beautiful place of birth.

the clarity of the ocean depths,

the sparkle of its shallows,

in my families house

we share both joys and sorrows.

the height of the plane as it moves across,

upon my return to the west,

my heart is full

thinking of the place i like best.
