Sanctuary

Sanctuary

I have come to this place for many years.
It is here that I have shed many tears.

Tears for love not shown.
Tears for seeds unsown.

I come to this place to be free.
Here I can become the true me.

The me that has so much to give.
The me that longs to truly live.

I come to this place in search of peace.
It is here I am offered release.

Release from the day’s frustration and pain.
Release from the thoughts of dying in vain.

I have gone to this place many times
to free my mind, and set words to rhymes.

Rhymes for the world that we seem to have lost.
Rhymes for love that vanished like summer frost.

This place is refuge, never hard to find.
It is the sanctuary of my mind.
