“I do hope
that our spring
will be starting shortly
and we will all be able
to enjoy some sunshine
again”
Lesley Garrett
Sunny Days
A house of dreams
Or so it seems
On the solemn island
But oh so close
To the main land

Day One: “Home” — Get Oriented
When you think of home, what do you imagine? You might picture a house from your past, your favorite neighborhood hangout, or a city you miss. And while home is often found on a map, it can also be less tangible: a loved one, a state of mind, a forgotten time.
“If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home” Malala Yousafzai
Summer Dwelling
Hidden from prying eyes
In the overgrown garden lies
A cottage made with love
Its owner fits like a glove
Invitations to stay are rare
But once you shown you care
A letter you will get in the mail
Just a few rules you should not fail
Do not smoke in your bed
Always put the tools back into the shed
And should you feel the urge to stay
Leave before the end of the play
“Do not cross the brook for water” Finnish proverb
The Finnish Dream
A cottage on an island
Preferably on the highland
Still near or in the city
No running water nor electricity
Not another soul in sight
If you dare to enter
You will soon be in plight
Because the center
Of each Finns existence
Is the calculated distance
From their neighbour
Preferably as far as the equator
