~Sanctuary~revised

You never know

how strong you are,

until being strong is only your choice.
-Bob Marley.

let me
tell you
a mystery
we’ll all be
changed
in a flash
in a twinkling
at the last

trumpet

How the sun

shines
When you

take the time
to look
at it

unwelcome
and unforeseen
consequences
this is just
the beginning

alone

with my thoughts
is that a good

idea, it’s a lot

space is just
a word for

someone

who is afraid

of getting close

another day

just breathe
going around

in circles
is that what

I’m in for

all of

your old shoes

are looking

brand new

even though

the shine

is gone

you think it’s easy

but it’s not

the minute

you struggle,

that's when

you fall

It’s not easy

to leave

never

bend

your head

To the wind

lost

in the

sound

of nothingness

always

hold it

up high

look it straight

in the eye

I will shed

this weight

you carry,

cover you

if you

let me

let me be

your sanctuary

a safe place

To hide

crumble

fall

running

with the

shadows

you can’t

completely hide

It's time

to rest
you've done

your best

there’s nothing

left in

the air

only flowers

the secrets

midnight angel

hold my hand

It’ll be

alright

let the

storm come

it won’t

undo me

this time

we have

weathered

through the

storms

when the

dark clouds

come again
I will lift you up

take you in

we got

A little higher

Then we should

be floating

Past

the broken

chaos

let me be

your safe place

to hide

the sanctuary

In the quiet
round and

around

we go

now I’m

sure
It’s how

you chose

to move

It’s not

just something

taken

it’s given

now we know
owning your

burdens

is half

the battle

expect

the unexpected,

and you’ll never

be surprised

were like peas

in a horrible pod
nicer

than flowers

dipped in honey

a thread

hanging

in the air

maybe

the point

was not

to look for

a point
