Amy's House

the fairly lit sky stood along with the sun

topping over the high trees

the wet pavement held under their feet

as the friends gathered at the house in the forest

it was cold enough for a coat

it was cold enough for a hug

a place of solitude for the hide aways

a place of comfort for the lovers

i love this place

at peace, at ease

neither a care nor a worry crosses my mind here

the house sat tucked away in forest

with roads like hills

and tall trees that covered over us like a shelter

concealing us into this little life no one knows of

and where i feel free

we gathered at this place in harmony

and i never wanted to leave.
