my ancestors sowed with their sweat
Born and raised with salt on my lips
and skin tattooed by the sun
A symphony of strumming ripples
each night singing me to sleep
A chorus familiar to my ear
the song I learned by heart
before I took my first steps
Bliss is the air I breathe when I dive
and love fills my lungs when I plunge
then right here is my paradise
The sand, sky, palm trees and the sea
A place I call my home
I am the daughter of this island.

Omnipotent
Flight
The Lost Man
Sun
This City
Ode to that Summer of My Unrequited Love
Solfège
Blue Ocean
Let it Flow

I maybe busy but i can always check your beautiful poems :) keep it up!
This is absolutely beautiful. Not only can I envision the island, I can smell it, feel the sand between my toes, hear the waves, feel the breeze as the trees sway. i love it.
Thank you @sumayyahsaidso! There are plenty of islands here in our country and each one of them is just amazing. Maybe it's easier to write when you experience the place itself. Thank you very much for dropping by. :)
The hymn of the ocean is my lullaby... Beautifully crafted!
Thank you @temzel! This is based on experience. I live near the sea and each night, I could just hear the waves, like a lullaby. Thank you for reading!
