Respite

the comforting silence
of the mountain cabin
welcomes her back…
away from it all
she lets down her hair

Dear Paul,this feels like a deep breath of peace — I could almost hear the silence of the mountains and see the gentle moment of freedom as she lets her hair fall. Simple, serene, and so comforting...Hugs

Thank you dear Maria. It was meant to be simple and understandable; enough to project a feeling of lingering peace as relayed by the long flowing hair once let down. ~ Warm regards, my friend // paul

Thank you, Andrea. Many of us, at one time or the other, feel the need to seek silence and peace of mind away from the din of everyday life. Of course, I can't literally let down my hair :) // paul

Talk about timing! My wife has lately been singing a song about a lonely old woman living in a cabin. It was her mother's favorite song (passed away in February). Anyway, your poem has a happier tone to it
