Sanctuary

*
I have many rooms

in my heart. It’s a house

where only a few have been invited

to remain. Each room is occupied

by a kiss or a hug. So much happiness

comes calling, a special cat,

a playful dog. A begonia

or an orchid. The moon

and the stars, even the wind

and the smell of the rain

have a place at the table. I

am blessed with your presence

that still comes and goes

with the quiet dignity

only the deepest of intimacy

can afford.
