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
