A Safe Resting Place

Often, I find my sweet solitude in a holy place, a sacred church- this safe haven and refuge I embrace. And sometimes it is in nature I find a temple like escape, the seclusion falling on my soul like a warm green cape. In my dreams- I can build a fortress and secret hideaway, a sanctuary for one where I can peacefully stay. Yet, in real life I can just create my own safe harbor, perhaps, a shady resting place beyond a rose arbor. ______________________________ August 15, 2020 Poetry/Couplet/A Safe Resting Place Protected by Copyright, ID 20-1279-034-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the contest, Sanctuary sponsor, Silent One Third Place
