Building a Log Cabin and longing for tranquility
In Sweden's woods, where nature's whispers call,
I long to venture, simple tools in hand,
My heart's desire, a log cabin’s tranquility
Far from the fast paced life of Stockholm's land.
In respect to our forefathers work,
I strive to build, to make them proud
To brave the Swedish winters, day and night,
As nature's symphony, my heart shall feel delight.
In this constant, modern world's cruel race,
I long for moments free from gadgets' grace,
To find my comfort in a quiet space,
Away from screens and signals we embrace.
The log cabin, a symbol pure and true,
A tribute to nature's humble grace
Its form and function stand in opposite spaces
To cities' towering, cold, and urban face.
With logs and love, I'll build this shelter
A retreat from the chaos of today,
In Sweden's woods, a calm, wild story,
A simple life where I can find my way.

I wrote this poem because my Dad used to like to build things in the backyard woods of his house. He always wanted to build a log cabin from scratch in those woods but now he is too old and has a job and doesn’t have enough time to get away from the liveliness of this busy world we live in today. I would like to carry this on and build a log cabin myself so I can complete what once was his idea and get away for a while and feel what it is like to be away from civilization and isolated in the woods without technology for a few weeks.
