This is my home




This is my home

of silver shores

of soothing seas

and serene skies.

As a solemn silhouette

against the last rays

of the setting sun,

I fold my arms in

reverence, in awe

- in gratitude

My body imbibes

the breath of life

in the rejuvenating breeze

and I am blessed

and healed

from a day’s toil and labor.

My eyes are imbued

with rippled hues

of pristine pacific

and placidity

and I find solace

- I feel peace.

This is my home

of innocence

of simplicity

and pastoral pleasure.

Here the sky knows my name

the ocean swells my heart

the trees listen to my thoughts

and the land nurtures my family
- my aiga.

I was born here.

It’s where I find love and happiness

and all that’s divine

- here at home.
