Haven
Haven

Straight down the street in the sharp of bend,
Nestled in, backsnug
Up against the wood
Facing straight out up the road,
Before it turns on past, to leave you there.
You stand serene against the woods land,
Back covered you sit in the corner, settled in.

Two stories rise
Against woods rising higher still.
As though born of Earth herself,
Sheltered here under oak-
You belong.

Back from the road, the curve, you stand, in quiet welcome.
Resting in your nook,
Mossy hard acorn strewn,
The land opens before you
Like an apron spread out by hand.
“Come, come, here is quiet, peace and still.

Black haired blue eyed angel
Come to us but for awhile.
Mama said you were too sweet
And beautiful, just too fair by far.
She loved you well
Of that I’m sure.

I have, among the clearly civilized.

Though blessed I was (except those 3)
With the breath of mountain and her old folk,
Only 6 times each year of my growing days.
Still, it laid a stain upon my heart, with indelible ink.
I know from whence and whom I  come
Though I hold not always true, to the legacy there.

Honest, they were,  kind, strong and true
A different century  -  even this one
White trash by some they’d have been called.
Dirt poor coal
