My own skin

 Drifting with the melody in the night sky

Feeling the light ocean breeze stirring my hair

Salty wetness cling to my skin like the kiss of a lover

 

Everything overpowers my senses:

Coffee aromas

Food that feeds my soul

A voice mixed with the melody of a song

 

I feel at home

I feel at peace

I feel like I have not felt in a long time

 

I feel at home in my own skin.
