It takes some time
To slow my mind
As I return from away
To life in the wilderness.
The chattering sound
And radiant heat
From the woodstove
Calms my senses
And warms far deeper than
Just to my bones.
I love
To live on the edge
Of tidal sea
Forever reminding me
Mother earth is alive
And breathing
Below
Above
And through us
The beauty of life. Feb. 5, 2018
