Moving footsteps

Moving footsteps toward the sea
The waves calm the soul
Walking down the sandy shore
As you make a path in the sand
You close your eyes, as the wind hits your face
Holding all that is dear in your heart
Knowing they will never part
Moving footsteps toward the sea
Praying that you never have to leave


My reasons for writing this poem is because I have lived in Florida for the past eight years and just moved up to Ohio to live with my dad and step mom. The beach was one of the most important places i went to think or write or draw about things or life. Most of the important things while living in Florida happened at the beach probably because new things were always happening and new people were always around.The beach was always changing in little ways and it made it a special place. My poem also tells how even though I'm away from my mom and all my friends in Florida they are still in my heart wherever i go. My favorite line is probably "Moving footsteps toward the sea", because you are drawn to the beach, the fact that it is so huge and entirely to large to ever see all of it in ones lifetime is amazing. I believe the ocean is like going to a spa, it calms you, it's a joyful place. My poem shows how much the beach meant to me and how much I miss being so far away.

All about ME!!!

Hello people out there in blogger land my name is Mary and I am in a creative writing class which is why i have a blogging page. Well to start of i attend Northview High School and I'm a junior. I'm from the warm and sunny Florida and i just moved up to Ohio and it is like the frozen tundra here! I really need a job and money but currently i don't and I'm trying to get one at Red Robin. So for the past year I have been a vegetarian and I am finally allowed to eat meat again and I'm so happy about it I cant even contain myself. Since moving to Ohio I have realized that snow is my worst enemy and we are not friends. Especially the negative wind chills and temperatures, while my sister sits in 70 degree weather warm and getting a tan. I think this creative writing class is going to be fun hopefully as long as i can think of things to write about it should be okay. My favorite color would be orange because it is bright I'm in love with music you can ask me any song and ill know it, music is my obsession. The best show in the world is Secret Life of the American Teenager its amazing. I know how to play a couple of songs on the gutair which I'm very proud of i must say and thats pretty much it about me.
