Cottage

Squat and white
Serene in the
Evening light
Gauzy chiffon
Wrapped around
Midnight blue starry skies
Abound

Cottage
To you and me
A solid place of
Sanctuary
Retreat, by any other name
Always there
Always the same

Cottage
Still point in a
Changing, turning world
Where our bruised spirits
Can unfurl

Cottage
Bejewelled with blooms
And butterflies
Slow down, look up
To where peace lies
Where true sight
Isn’t through our eyes

Cottage
A place of sun
And dew
Where we refresh
And renew

In its enchanting green
Enclave
Finally

Reconciled and
Saved
