hobbitual
Wander through the burrowed light,
mud-packed walls breathing warmth,
a kettle thrums—no rush, just the steady,
unbroken rhythm of being.
Hands work the earth, kneading sun into soil,
tucking seeds deep where roots raise memory.
Footsteps soften against moss,
small strides, sure and deliberate,
paths well-trodden yet never worn.
Bread breaks, laughter follows,
cups filled, emptied, filled again—
contentment settling into the bones.
Beyond the hills, the world clamours,
but here, time folds neatly,
days measured in meals,
life shaped by hearth and harvest.
This is enough.

Hey Rolph David 🌷 Thanks for affirming what this poem and its 'portmanteau' hopes to carry across. There is a love for gardening and quiet living instilled in me by my ancestral grandparents homelife. I suppose marrying that with LOTR has given it so much sense and texture. Your last line upholds. My deepest gratitude. RBK🌷🙏🏻🕊️
