Log Cabin

Nights without sleep,
Days without hope
Mailbox is empty-
You laugh or cry
The wall of silence
Divided us
The weary winter
Is going by


The depth of snow
Is up to the hips
Frost framed the forest
Turned breath to steam
You’re quietly sleeping
After hard day
In little log cabin
Down the stream

The spring will come
To this frozen world
To brake the ice
And to move the rocks
To fill the air
With call of the Swans
To lead to the North
  All endless flocks

The Love and Memory
Point my way
I will return
To the Land of my Dream
But there is the path
That I’ll never found-
-To little log cabin
Down the stream

You are a very good story teller. I could visualize it all, and the sadness of never seeing the log cabin or your love again. touching.

this is an interesting visualization/metaphor ... one who is gone, isolated from the writer (by death or life choices? unimportant ... we know the writer cannot receive mail from the object of our love, for whatever reason) ... and this separation is as a frozen winter, with hope of spring and new life (and sometimes sudden violent changes, rocks moving, earth changes), tho the log cabin remains only in our mind's eye ... we will have to find a cozy place of our own ... for this log cabin belongs to another ... whose comfort comforts us ... fascinating take, and a lovely, ethereal write, Forestbird ... ty for posting! -dh

Forestbird, How did you know that my favorite home would be a log cabin? This poem speaks to me in so many ways. The serenity of its remoteness brings calm to the soul and your references to nature once the melt comes are refreshing. A keeper to my favorites. ginga

perfection in every word and between the lines also!! I would push my way through the ice fog to offer you bread and salt!!

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
