In the fields of green hills rolling,
There you'll find a wise man strolling,
In his crimson robes all flowing,
With his beard of powdered snowing;
Teaching folk the ways of old,
To hide them from the evils cold.
The young ones glared with eyes afire,
"Tell us wise man about the shire?"
- "Of elves a work and gomes at play?
The shire to you, will a secret stay."
This was 'cuz the race that magic brewed,
Could be angered by their temper, shrewd.
So 'till the sun began to wander,
Passed the hills and fennel yonder,
The man would sit and tell of tales,
Of sorcery, and dragon trails.

Sanctuary
Sanctuary, At Home, In The Attic. Sleep-in Saturdays, cartoons on TV, breakfast in bed, playing with the dog, four walls and a roof keeping outside noise outside, the dirty dishes can wait, get into daytime clothes, ignore the phone, glorious hours online finding out what's going on outside, the weeds need - something, patio umbrella blew into neighbor's yard, dog escaped, amazing nights reading by wood fireplace, snacks, no soliciting sign on door ignored, snacks again, air conditioning, comfort cocoon, clogged sink, best BBQs, late nights in the backyard by the fire, un-cleared snow-covered sidewalk - thanks for the ticket, the quiet and private attic's sanctuary, the sofa, the bed, pets, and garden.
