Home and part of all the lush of green, pine groves and canopy
The earth, my ancient blood and all the wilder parts inside of me
A natural intrinsic bond; my chapel, living room and bed
Most comforting embrace, and worship place inside my head

And to the sea, I bow before the mimic of my fragile soul
The depths and tides, where life abides a circle full and whole
The very who I am inside and where all tears are cried
Mirror of the sky above, in surge of bottled nerve, now lullabied

Home, the haven where my work and play can come to rest
The moon, the lantern in the nighttime cradle gently blessed
And you, another center of these thoughts that gratify
Most cordially to slip beneath the shields to fields beside me lie

This is extremely beautiful, Kathleen.
I love the idea of the home as the haven where work and play can come to rest...

Kathy, you write so beautifully of material
things around you...You have a very heightened
awareness of your world and all of it's
beauty...Your words say that to me..

TD, never banal, always hawkeyed,
your pen writes only
the most brilliant
of gems
