The Wicker House

Too often I have forgotten the nectar of welcomed recollection, Having been lazed out in Sylvan grasses green, lounging upon the footstool of the world..... where the wood marries the wedded waters, where the songster sings from his hooded perches ---- Where the dream is ripe, with long, easeful melodies; With wind chasing the swooning dapples.... A short sleep in the lilting sky for a pampered muse, Could life be sweeter in some ghost-clap mansion hall? where the forest doesn't whisper in the womb of a man's soul? ***(A plea for a swift arriving Spring/Summer....)***

What a lovely invite to just sit back and chill with nature. Great tone and mood, with unique word choices that were not to weighty for the subject. Definitely a different view but written lovely.
