A Cabin in the Woods

Beloved Ones are like

a cabin in the woods

A safe place to stop

along the journey home

Warm fire of family

of being oneself

No need to cloak

my vulnerability

Or hide my face

in a mask

Feast and refresh

take the nourishment

Rest for the next leg of the road

be it stoney or steep

Another cabin will appear

a light in the window

Will beckon me

when needed most
