Home is a Fortress

Let me craft my castle.
My beautiful realm.
The cushy bower where I repose.
My curated world and universe.
Feathered nest sparkling in the sun,
Encrusted with rhinestones,
Lush with lace and softest ermine.
Here I add another basket.
Hang my most loved canvas,
Upon a different wall.
Finely milled cotton sheets.
Pull the new duvet,
Freshly fluffed from the dryer,
And smooth the drapes.
To set the foundation,
The atmosphere and the vibe.
Here I am comfortable,
I dwell safe and snug,
Suspended in pine surfs,
Rust-red dust between my toes,
Watching another sunset.
May we all remain so lucky,
To appreciate a home,
Or any other fine feature,
We build inside the ashes,
Of our yesterdays,
And project so firmly,
With hope,
In our castle.
