Cradled

sorenbarrett

A cabin forest surrounded, nature unbounded, running streams
Songs of birds and creek sounded, their music expounded, creation of dreams
Wild flowers grow their naked beauty to show, under a sun's beams
The fury of storms and a fire that warms, inside a wood house of forest cut beams

 

Three hundred acres or more. ten miles to the store, neighbors a quarter of a mile away
Frogs and crickets at night, stars burning embers bright, birds announce the break of day
The wind sings her song as shadows grow long under the sun's last ray
Painted skies as the sun dies in an artistic multicolor display

              You are very welcome. That is truly beautiful. It sounds as though you live in a place that has not only inspired you but has also become deeply woven into your life and sense of home.

                Yes Soheil nature is my home as it is for all of us

                    What a beautiful escape, Soren. The scenery, solitude, and passing hours create a place that feels both untamed and deeply protective...somewhere I could gladly remain. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
