Poem No. 136

POEM TITLE A Sense of Belonging


POEM

Driving into Blackness for the very first time

I saw a village picturesque with far reaching views sublime

From the distant mountains to the left, the three bridges to the right

And the now famous castle, what a glorious sight

I came to see one of the perfectly formed terraced houses across from the church

It seemed that an end had come to my lengthy search

Tranquility, quaintness and welcoming

residents

All adding to my sense of belonging

There was never a moment of hesitance

Once I settled in I enjoyed the scenery each and every day

Never tiring of the outlook, always enjoying the sense of come what may

Taking long walks along the shore and down the John Muir trail

What wonderful choices where beauty never fails

And of course those walks would never be complete without a stop

For a pint and a bite at the friendly Lobster Pot

I will always cherish these visions now etched in my mind

The glorious sights of Blackness, and the wonderful people are one of a kind
