In the back of my mind, I hold a vague memory

I was always the scapegoat, to make you look good

Thank goodness, I finally found, my own sanctuary

To regenerate my soul, something you never could

Mists weave in and out of brush

In the forest, a stillness, a hush

Which lingers in the quietude

As morn begins its soft prelude

And wakens to the faintest breeze

Enveloped round the sleepy trees

A sanctuary, a forgotten place

Where life slows, to a calmer pace

A chance to disappear, unheard

Where nothing is said, not a word

And as the winds whisper in my ear

Light covets darkness, crystal clear

To show the beauty I’ve come to see

And rest mine, weary eyes on thee

Soak in, all those in nature’s attendance

The Glory of God, in subtle resplendence

Unreplenished Urges – #poetry – #MarchWriting

There will come a time, when

I venture outside these walls

This place I call my sanctuary

Where only I can hide away

And no one knows why

I am feeling low, except me

The urge is always there

But remains depleted

And I am empty in this shell

Locked away, in a cocoon

Like a caterpillar, trying

To break free, to fly away

Like a butterfly, in the breeze

Perhaps one day, I will go

Journey out into the unknown

Spread my wings, take flight

But for now, I will remain

Tucked away, safely

In my own little world

 

March Writing Prompts – Unreplenished urges – Day 31/31 – Wow, another month in the books. This one flew by much too quickly! On to April!!

Human Dearth ~ #poetry #FOWC #RDP

We can build ourselves a sanctuary, a place we can retreat

Even if it’s in an old garage, a means of paradise, on Earth

But, motivation keeps falling, we’re no longer so ambitious

Our will has dropped too low, we now suffer human dearth
