Thankful  for the stillness
The rainfall in the wood
The lichens and the falling leaves
Where once a cabin stood

Grandma’s long departed
The wolf has gone away
No danger in the forest
No hunter here today

Not  Little Red but big and beige
Autumnal Riding Hood
That fearful day forgotten
Where once a cabin stood

Blessed by nature’s bounty
Befriended by the beast
Gathering  the berries
Savoring the  feast
