static – d’Verse prompt
Some caravans are – static:
Moving requires heavy machinery.
Mine offers no pretence:
Short of a vehicle.
You choose to call me
homeless?
Owl wakes me regardless. – Bliss.
Tin roof for rain to drum.
4 walls my own
to be a hermit – my own steam.

Solitary 4 Tomorrow - in Dialogue 
Sounds like a peaceful way to exist these days…..I would trade my crows for that owl.

I certainly find peace here – but don’t escape the inner turbulences to be faced.

and the social context eg of the current British Govt and policies does not go away miraculously either… but you’re right, it is the life style for me. 🙂

well I was not writing about the inner work the hermit has to do; make no mistake… and the social reality of Britain today cannot be escaped either

When camping is not a choice?

not quite – when the idyllic stat/location becomes permanent – the shadow and everyday issues move in as well. Thanks for asking –

Gives me a different perspective…thank you, Barbara.

The nomadic lifestyle is presented in all of its finery in this poem. I’d love to awaken to the call of an owl… lucky you! ❤
