'The Hideaway'

'The Hideaway'

Come join me in my hideaway

In forest deep and shaded

Where all is happy all the day

An nothing will be jaded.

I have a pie of blueberries 

Cooling on the sill

Come visit as I make some tea

Blue Willow pot ...I'll fill.

Sit in my wicker rocker

By the window edged in lace

And watch the chimpmunk

Peek at you..He has a funny face.

Don't mind the books

All strewn about

For they're  good friends of mine

They seem to fall right off the shelf

When e'er I need a sign.

To take a breath and drink the joy

abounding all about...

To spin and dance and smile and sing

and sometimes even shout.

For life is full of mysteries

And beauty I must seek.

Or else I'll dry up ...blow away

And ne'er again will speak.

So we will visit now and share

'Till light turns into dusk.

And barely pull a fraction from

Our memory filled husk.

And as we part tomorrow

Some bit will hence remain

To weave into the Song

Of Life's... refrain.
