Phil Organ Poet Rhyme

A Cabin In the Wilderness

I saw a cabin in my dream,
Beside it ran a shimmering stream,
Along the pathway lilacs grew
A tree-lined meadow filled the view
And near the wall a rough hewn seat
Inviting me to rest my feet.
The elegant guests who came to call
Wore furs or feathers - and were very small
Careless of time, at dusk or dawn
They liked their lunch served on the lawn,
Like any gracious host I spread
A snack of nuts and bits of bread.
This place of peace I'd longed to find
Restored my soul and eased my mind.
It's just a dream, I must confess,
Some day I'll find it nevertheless,
My cabin in the wilderness.

 
Phil Organ
