Sanctuary In Solitude
Sanctuary means different things
to whoever it may apply
it can be a hiding place of solitude
especially when confronted with question why
But for me what makes my sanctuary
is being alone in that quiet place
having time to think and contemplate
just to be myself in time and space
To listen to real beautiful music
classical in nature holding my breath
making one's thoughts a moment still
thinking of that moment before death
Having a book of wise counsel
filling one's mind with godly thought
this truly is my real sanctuary
being in that place to be taught
This sanctuary is a beautiful thing
as one leaves your world behind
to ponder and pose with no distraction
reality and purpose there to find
