The Humble Abode Premiere Contest Winner

Mama says this is where 
  I was born on a stormy night
    the benignant horn was where
      she'd paused to breathe and reside

         The bounteous hollow took her in
            and echoed my cries and coos
              spiralling down the springs
                 to protect me as if I were Zeus

                     I slide along the spirals 
                       to quench my itching thirst 
                          a joyous melody in the hollow
                            and palatable unceasing food 
  
                               When it rains we glide to be dry
                                  it shields us from the biting frost
                                    when it snows and humans sing 
                                       of the ballads of festive days

                                         At nights I crawl and climb
                                          to the window of that horn
                                         and watch the lavender starry sky
                                      she recites stories of distant worlds

                                     Sweet symphonies of chirping birds
                                    wake me up on fragrant mornings
                                   at times I step outside the door 
                                  to wander in some nearby forest

                             "Do you stay inside that cornucopia?"
                            A giant cub questioned me one day
                         I looked at Mama with my little black eyes
                       and wished to know the same

                  "Honey, this is our humble dwelling
                 that nurtures us, protects us, loves us
              as if this was the great destiny
            of a humble horn of spirals

        This is our door to a beautiful heaven
     with aromatic clouds and winged doors
   this will be the blissful abode of tiny beetles
who lived happily in a divine cornucopia"
