God's Design

I'm leaving tomorrow for a few days of isolation up in my powerless, outhouse defined cabin in the hills so see you all when I get back...

God’s Design


 


The air is cold and crisp and clear


Mother natures hand is always near


In my cabin way up in these rolling hills


 


I’ll light the kerosene oil lamp


Make a fire to dry out the damp


As I dream about the big trout in the lake


 


As the maple logs crack and sizzle fire


I’ll drink my rum and slowly tire


Alone with just my racing poet’s thoughts


 


I’ll walk out in darkness of the night


When the stars are full and bright


And the moon shines down with an eerie glow


 


I may take out my old six string


Join a band of coyotes as they sing


The song about this barren loner’s life


 


When my eyes beg me to go to sleep


In my empty bunk I’ll gently weep


At the way that God designed this world of mine.

Warm poetry that lightens the heart.
It feels like the country Colorado.
Where was this written?
Yes, we all want to go there.

Blessings,

It is always good to get away from the real world and just do what you want to do. We tend to live too fast and let the beauty bypass us. Even just taking a walk in the woods or pasture and breathing in the fresh smell of nature, or picking wild flowers and enjoying their smell. That is what I call getting back to nature. You wrote it like I feel about it. Karen

This is what my spirit needs, Felix. A deep commune with nature. You captured spiritual solitude beautifully ! I yearn!

This is a great poem, Felix and I love the way that you handled the rhyme. There is something cleansing and spiritual about being out in nature. I hope you have a wonderful time and return refreshed with poems to delight us all.
Take care,

Felix,
You know as well as I that cabin holds more than loneliness for you. It's your safe haven from not only life, but all things within and without.
It's rustic walls maintains your livelihood and replenishes your soul the nourishment it needs to continue your climb.
The ladder is steep, and wrungs are slippery, but you know you'll manage the journey.
See you when you return, I'm looking forward to your next write.
Take care.

Lisa

This was very peaceful and sing-song-like. I particularly like the next to last stanza. What I wouldn't give to enjoy such solitude for even half a day!

This is great Felix. I like the chirping of crickets lulling me to sleep; the distant howl of the wolf, baying out the lonliness; I love just lying back on the ground and looking up at the stars, and the moon. I love walking through the wild flowers, touching their soft petals as I go. Felix, remember, solitude is not a forlorn quest, but a break away from the realities of this stupid world. Go on Felix, throw in that line, and if you catch two trout, have one for me too. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & (((HUGS))), Barbie

Can I join you?

You can play the guitar and we can sing with the crickets...deal?

Okay just a thought...when you hear that noisy beetle know it's me mocking you....lol!!

And when you look that trout in the eye....look closely for a wink...that will be me too!!

Okay???????

Enjoy your isolation trip Felix...I envy you right now....I need that cabin methinks!!
