Inspiration Path
Photo of ocean beach near the cliff house taken during one of my afternoon walks.Ocean beach which is located along the Pacific Ocean is my chosen path of inspiration. It is right near my home along the west coastside of San Francisco. I walk along the beach up to the cliff house and back. It offers stunning views of the pacific ocean especially as the sun sets and dusk awakens. Fog is the norm during morning hours yet as noon approaches the fog lifts like a veil revealing virgin beauty. Views from the cliff house bar and restaurants are magical as you watch the swinging and swaying of the ocean waves tantalizing yet serene. Below is a poem I wrote about my daily walks along the beach.

Inspiration Path
Walking along
ocean beach
mist bathes me
as salt tears
on feather pillows
mumble affirmations
quietly.
A distant foghorn
echoes resounding waves
as a dull bass
strums undertones
and awakens daydreams
skimming stones
softly.
Saltwater cotton
iridescent seafoam
clash against
high tide
forming footprints
on golden sands
gently.
Quietly I walk
sofly I tread
gently in solitude
that’s a very beautiful view, no wonder why it is called Inspiration Path.
