Origin

By AutaB Mar 3, 2022

Origin

The home of big skies
And beautiful beaches.
Windmills dot the horizon
And marshes teem with wildlife.
The most incredible sunsets
Light up the earth.
I no longer live in this beautiful,
idyllic part of the world
But …
I was born there
I grew up there
Its earth is in my veins
When I dream of home
My heart is there
It’s in my very soul
My Norfolk
