MY HOME TODAY - A short poem

my Home Today

The mountains sing an invitation in the trees

Waving their cool welcome in the breeze

Have never ever been this way

Now need to find a place to stay

Somewhere for me to make my stamp

A simple, lonely wanderer's camp

Unfurl the swag and make a fire

By river bank that's my desire

I sit and watch the flaming dance

Read memories as if in a trance

And contemplate the recent past

Such good times surely meant to last

I thank the trees for pointing here

To make this choice so very clear

If there was a fee would gladly pay

I'm glad I found my home today
