Thanks Esther for the writing prompt of special places!

Writing Prompts – Esther Chilton

My special place is the beach. I love it there. I love to listen to the ocean, the waves as they lap against the shore.

Here is my poem about my special place.

When life grows loud and days feel long,
I drift away where I belong—
To where the shoreline meets the sky,
My worries fade, the seagulls cry.

The ocean hums a lullaby,
Soft whispers in the breeze float by,
And every grain beneath my toes
Knows stories only silence knows.

The salt, the sun, the open air,
Are comforts that I find nowhere.
Each wave that breaks and curls away
Washes the weight of thought away.

Here, time slows down—no need to race,
The beach, my calm, my sacred place.
It holds my heart, it knows my name,
A refuge no one else can claim.
