finding an island

i completely
see the joy in becoming a recluse.
drama free.
the sanity
of aloneness.
the books
and tv,
the walks, and bike rides.
the occasional
visit from Annie
across the prairie will
be fine.
i like this field, this haystack,
this old red barn.
i like
the chickens
and the cows.
out here in the wilderness.
i like the quiet
of the sun
rising and falling,
and the hard work needed
to live on this
oasis, on 
this old great farm.
