Wednesday's Poetry Day ~ Cabin In The Woods

When the poetry mood hits me I find many things I've seen, heard or read that brings a picture to mind and words that turn into poetry swirling through my mind. The type poem I end up writing could be spiritual, happy, sad or comical. 95% of the poems I write are definitely not biographical as some may think. I find the subject and my thoughts take it from there. With that said here is a poem I wrote when seeing the following picture I happened to come across.

Cabin In The Woods

Watching the sun rise in the east
Sitting on the porch quietly alone
As daylight lights the morning sky
This, the only life she's ever known

Her little cabin hidden in the woods
Many miles away from any town or kin
She reads her books each and every day
Of faraway places she has never been

Her only companions are the wildlife
That greet her every early morn
She waves and smiles back at them
The white tail doe and baby fawn

The days and years pass swiftly by
And the sun still rises every day
The empty chair now on the porch
For she has quietly passed away.

After I wrote the poem I felt a little sad but knew I had to write it anyway. I hope you see the sad lonely beauty of the subject. Until the next time dear family and friends, have a day of blessings.
