🪶Poetry Prompt🪶Everyone has a secret place where they feel safe and secure. Write about yours and how it makes you feel. 🌹

Breeze in my hair 

Trying to balance 

As I find my spot is open

I sit as close to the edge as possible 

Scraping my hands on coral and shells 

 

I'm looking out into the sunset

In front,

The sail boats in the harbor

Behind me,

so much history 

In my hands,

My favorite grapefruit sorbet

This is my spot

I'm safe here

I can breathe here

The demons can't reach me here

There are other people around 

It's probably their first time 

I've been here 

More times than I can count 

I bet anything 

Most tourists don't know this place exists

Children play around me

Parents making sure they don't fall

I don't think anyone has actually fallen 

I'm now several years in the future 

My body is failing me

I don't think I can ever get there again 

The last time I went 

I could barely balance 

The heat was unbearable 

I felt lightheaded 

My legs ached

Swaying as I walked

But I didn't fall

I really took it all in

It felt like the last time 

But it'll always be in my mind

And hopefully 

I'll find a new spot soon
