Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

The House Beside the Sea

Arriving here at last at the house beside the sea
Through open red gate we are keen to explore her
Each room so unique with its very own persona
Full of calming vibrations and her welcoming aura

Charming works of art are displayed upon her walls
With fascinating artifacts from all around the World 
Travel books galore from Bangkok to Cote d'Azur
Transporting us to foreign climes - our stress is now unfurled

We awaken every morn at the very crack of dawn
To the beauty of a sunrise full of red and orange hues
Such a glorious way for us to start a brand new day
Standing on our balcony we catch the most spectacular view

And then to the sea ~ her rock pools full of treasures 
Displaying each and every day her many shades of blue
Upon the sands her daily ebb and flow creating sculptures 
As a string of her white horses comes galloping through

Now we prepare to leave this stunning house beside the sea
Many thanks are left behind from all the family 
So packing up our bags we bid our final farewell 
And vow we will return one day ~ my family and me

2nd September 2019 
Inspired by a week away at the most awesome house – it was on the beach…
