Reminiscing

My Special Spot

by damommy

 
When I saw it, I knew it was meant just for me,
a place I could live happily.
A house in the woods always had been my dream,
and now it’s come true, it would seem.
 
So I chopped and I sawed and I cleared out the land,
built my cabin where tall cedars stand.
Then I set forth to dig out a very deep well,
and when finished, I sat for a spell.
 
In the evenings, I wait for the whippoorwill’s song,
as I hear the cicadas in throng.
As the darkness descends bringing stars out to shine,
I delight in this sweet spot of mine.
 
Honeysuckle and pine waft across the night air,
the aromas that none can compare.
When I head for my bed, settle in for the night,
I know my small world is just right.

Remembering when I lived in the woods, but it was a two-story house, not a cabin. And I didn't clear the land by myself. 8-) Everything else is true.
