MY CABIN
My cabin amongst the Hemlock trees
is a shelter for my soul
I bring the scattered pieces there
to recreate the whole
It's the true north compass
in my life
this tiny wood framed shelter
The place I find my sanity amongst the helter skelter
It's the freedom that my heart desires
when I look skyward
through the trees
The peace and warmth the sunlight brings
like prayer on bended knees
The significance of being
so insignificant
The surge of power I feel
as winds though forest chant
The silence of the snows
The smoldering scent of Fall
My cabin is my place in life
where I can have it all
without the hustle and the nonsense
The turmoil and it's intrusion
The banality of life itself
that causes such confusion
It's the quiet and the down time
where worry is left behind
My cabin amongst the Hemlock trees
Is my piece of mind
