Where the Woods Whisper
In whispering woods, where shadows play,
A cabin stands, at close of day.
There dwells a soul, both kind and bright,
Known to her dear ones as just "Cat," a light.
But when the moon begins to gleam,
And casts its silver, softest beam,
A different magic starts to rise,
Reflected in her thoughtful eyes.
By candlelight, a gentle glow,
Her poet's heart begins to flow.
With pen in hand, and words that weave,
The secrets that her spirit believe.
Three furry shadows, soft and small,
Observe her muse, enthrall them all.
A purring chorus, low and deep,
While inspiration starts to leap.
And on the couch, in slumber deep,
Her loving husband finds his sleep.
A peaceful haven, safe and sound,
Where gentle enchantments can be found.
So let the wildwood softly sigh,
Beneath the vast and starlit sky.
For in that cabin, warm and true,
The candlewitch creates anew.
