Nary a stone block
Not a spire in sight
Decidedly lacking a gate or moat
No grand staircase or chandeliers
*
My castle,
Though modest,
Has comfort -
Places to sit or recline
Heating and cooling on demand
Places at which to prepare and enjoy
Favored sustenance and entertainment.
*
Most importantly,
My castle is replete with
Love
Kindness
Care
For those who grace me
With their presence
Fair day
And welcome
To my castle
