Special Moments

A secluded cabin fail-safe into a mountain side - Oh, so high, one feels they can attain and adjoin the clouds A pallet of goose-down feathers, veiled by a hand sewn comfortor and a spiderlike, dusty canopy - a paradise for lovers A perfect weekend - paired with a bubbly jacuzzi awaiting after a mile rambling up, then down, this lofty snow covered rock A babbling brook and glossy chestnut stallions trail along an old gravel road, leading to a dilapidated barn, now masking wet hay, squirrels and wild rabbits Snakes have shed their skins, like elongated strands of silk dangling from beams of rotten wood and imperfect slate shingles - Leaving their past in the present for countryside tourists to enjoy Bluegrass music is heard faintly in the wilderness background A rustic, but elegant way to spend time, enabling a soul to touch one's inner self Tomorrow beckons way too soon -- reality returns, this dream weekend now a fond memory, as we take our leave of that little creekside cabin on a snow covered mountain crest

This poem hit close to home, as we have a cabin in the mountains about 2 hours from our home in the valley. It is our retreat, a place to find peace and enjoy the lake nearby. I enjoyed your poem. Congratulations on this one being featured this week! ~ Carrie

Beautiful!!! I am blessed enough to live in the VT mountains everyday, in our cozy woodstove timberframe high in the clouds, so I really felt this one. :) Lovely! Kristin
