Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Her Special Place

~ Her special place ~


She searched the woods, the plants, the trees
   sloping riverbanks, fast-flowing streams
Not one's your special place, whispered soft the breeze

O'er rolling meadows, through bush and vine
   up steep mountains, past ibix and ram
O, please, she pleaded, please give me a sign

Daylight waning, plodding home, her face drawn
   when on her landing, an inner light switched on --
"This, my humble cottage" ~ her special place all along
