The Smell of Wood

The Smell of Wood 
By Dawne Zacharias

I find myself walking thru the front doors after  
Long walks in the open air,
The doors are carved oak and strong, 
I do not fear the world.

I can read and 
study in a soft chair by the fire  
smell the wood-burning there, 

a real sense of peace

I walk into my office and begin to write
The feelings of my soul.
