Earth, USA, Poconos, Camp Ramah, Boys Campus, Bunk 12, Third wooden step/ a hornets nest underneath- harmlessly buzzing,/ we are invincible/ peace draws me back./ Leaning back on the fourth step, the wood digs into my elbows but/ I'm too content/ a sprawling bright green hill of grass/ plunges downward with a strip of gravel leading to the lake./ Feeling the aged, warm wood beneath my feet is/ cozy/ A gazebo is at the apex of the lush hill/ falling apart with cobwebs and flaking wood/ no one said home was perfect. I tilt my head upward briefly to feel the warmth of the sun/ downward a square pool surrounded by a romantic chain-link fence./ a run down boathouse./ My first kiss./ I had a "secret to tell her." A serene manmade lake sits just below the boathouse./ deep blue waters/ and the "blob” capture my attention. The picturesque scene… the lake surrounded by a dense forest at the bottom/ the giant beautiful hill which houses for just a brief period,/ some of the best friends I’ve ever had/ is home to me./ It is serenity, it is comfort, it is love. Home has no definition,/ but the third wooden step, bunk 12, boys campus, Camp Ramah, USA, Earth,/ gazing in the hot summer sun/  over the most beautiful piece of land/ I've ever laid eyes upon/ sure feels like home to me.

My Home (revised)
Earth, USA, Poconos, Camp Ramah, Boys Campus, Bunk 12, Third wooden step/ a hornets nest underneath- harmlessly buzzing,/ we are invincible/ peace draws me back./ Leaning back on the fourth step, the wood digs into my elbows but/ I'm too content/ a sprawling bright green hill of grass/ plunges downward with a strip of gravel leading to the lake./ Feeling the aged, warm wood beneath my feet is/ cozy/ A gazebo is at the apex of the lush hill/ falling apart with cobwebs and flaking wood/ no one said home was perfect. I tilt my head upward briefly to feel the warmth of the sun/ downward a square pool surrounded by a romantic chain-link fence./ a run down boathouse./ My first kiss./ I had a "secret to tell her." A serene manmade lake sits just below the boathouse./ deep blue waters/ and the "blob” capture my attention. The picturesque scene… the lake surrounded by a dense forest at the bottom/ the giant beautiful hill which houses for just a brief period,/ some of the best friends I’ve ever had/ is home to me./ It is serenity, it is comfort, it is love. Home has no definition,/ but the third wooden step, bunk 12, boys campus, Camp Ramah, USA, Earth,/ gazing in the hot summer sun/  over the most beautiful piece of land/ I've ever laid eyes upon/ sure feels like home to me.
