Home is where the water is.

A poem inspired by the island I love.

Isle of Walney 2021, Faye Smith

Home is where the water is

Spacious, wild and free

Home is where the water is

Living near the sea.

Home is where the water is

On an island, long not wide

Home is where the water is

You’ll find me at the tide.

Home is where the water is

Breathe in the salty air

Home is where the water is

Use riprap as a chair.

Home is where the water is

Sunshine, rain or snow

Home is where the water is

A place where time moves slow.

Home is where the water is

The sound of crashing waves

Home is where the water is

My sanity, it saves.
