The Longing

March 2, 2014 by Owls and Orchids

Searching for a place

To lay my head

Not a mansion

Not a cave

Just a castle of my own

A place to call my home

Room to lay my weary head

A view outside the door

Rolling hills and trees abound

A creek perhaps just burbling by

Perhaps some fruit trees nearby

Just for us and not the bats

Perhaps cows and horses are near

Chickens too would not be too much

Just leave the rooster at home

No early morning crowing here

Just a place to lay my head

And move around under open skies

With room to turn around

Fresh air to breath

The sound of the breeze

Whispering through the trees

The only noise I hear

Except the sounds of wildlife passing by

Or visiting for a while

Peace and quiet reign here

In this place to call my own

Away from the maddening crowd

Where is my castle, where do you hide

Will I find you soon just by my side

Listening

To a heartfelt sigh.

Blessings, Susan ♥

  Thank You, #TheLonging was actually a phrase in a book I read and it seemed particularly right for this piece.

  Many thanks. I’m simply a trifle lost at present. The search for peace and (quiet) contentment can sometimes be a lesson to be learned.
