Donum (The Gift) – A Poem

Gifts and well wishes in chorus offer: Seasons Greetings, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Eid al-Fitr, Kwanza. But lo! Each day, you, are the presence; With every breath, life inhales sustenance.

Heated by a fired resolve, buffeted by candle lights Where night skies turned stars into porch-lights, Where living as simply as possible was cabin entry, Into tranquility’s door with contentment,Continue reading “The Cabin – A Poem”
