Notes About The Poem

It's Okay to Shelter Here

It's okay to live a quiet life,
to live and love in the solitude
of a forest glen
where simple things 
become the song of plentitude.

Morning fog to greet the dawn,
Morning sun to filter down 
and warm the ground where flowers
soon shall shout their colors
to the bees that hum.

The deer and her fawn will wander near
to eat the apples that appear
the same as every year,
they speak to me these perfect beasts
and say it is safe to shelter here.
