Find Your Sanctuary

As an artist paints his picture A dancer performs the dance While the actor plays the role And I have discovered the power of a word We are in our sanctuary The sky grows dark As the seasons will change The weather turns cold and grey But in here, I feel comfort and warmth Buildings will collapse Old problems come back to relapse Children are being born Stars, are created in the heavens Some people might be hated Others may be admired Within my possession is the authority of a word The power to be heard This happens while in my sanctuary Here what is blocked Now becomes unlocked What has been hidden Now surfaces to a brilliant light Life will always present questions And perhaps not enough answers But that's okay As an artist paints his picture The dancer performs the dance While the actor plays the role I write words We are in our sanctuary This is the special place To utilize our creative space It is here that we fill fully alive Look inside yourself and reach out Find the sanctuary that awaits Everyone has one Dedicated to those who are still seeking And to everyone who has discovered their Sanctuary, whatever that may be
