The Cabin

Blessed by the surrounding forest

so thick with spruce

their boughs reaching low to the ground

there was a natural protection from the winter winds

The snows

when they came

fell gently

covering the ground all about his cabin

Though temperatures would drop outside

within the cabin there was a comfortable warmth

supplied by the ever present embers

found at the base of the hearth

Tonight, the snows were held at bay

it was a bright and wonderful full moon

reflecting from the surface of yesterdays snow

giving an eye opening bit of entertainment

As he gazed out his window

he stood watching as a beautiful buck

emerged from the trees

he was soon joined by a large doe

Within minutes

his entire clearing was filled

with deer

searching for a meal

It was for these nights

he had left the rat race of city life

gone off the grid

and returned to days gone by
