Grey Skies

Smells of amber sap,
And willow trees,
The warmth of life,
A wistful breeze,
A duskish glow,
I think of these.

Not where I was born,
But where I'm from,
These are my home,
It's these I love.

They're glad to leave.
They want to leave.
Adventure waits,
The change they need.

But no, not me, never me,
For I always dream of home.

But here, here
Where the winds blow strange,
And there's salt in the air
From the green frothy sea,
And the sky is too gray
And too dismal for me,

I think no, not me, never me,
For I always dream of home.

This is a shortened version of what I wrote for English class. Constructive criticism appreciated. I know the grammar is a little funky, but that's creative license.
