Big, open, vast, and wide.
Brilliant light shone from side to side.
A place where I'm most at peace?
It includes none of these!
Airy and rocky, way up high.
Close enough to kiss the sky.
A place where I can just be me?
Certainly not somewhere so above the sea!
Green and fertile, covered in vines.
Where birds chirp and sing like windchimes.
A place where I find serenity?
Not a place in nature, preferably!
Sandy and warm, a salty breeze.
Billowing by with gentle ease.
A place where I can be happy?
Not by the ocean. Water makes me snappy!
Nowhere above can a place be seen.
Where I would be truly serene.
Were the question: 'A place where I'm content'
Any of the above would do, had I my pen.

This is so great. This put a real smile on my face when I hit the last stanza. That final message really paid off, especially since you didn't allude to the writing aspect in the beginning of the poem. The rhyme scheme was also such a great way to create flow, and to really engage your reader. I personally loved each rhyme you made. What a great poem.
