Abiding In Our Abode

Haven 'til heaven.
Oasis while in exile.
Matrimonial love suite.
Ephemoral until eternity.

great opening line, haven 'til heaven. That is what it should be for everyone, a heavenly haven away from eath's travails. Too bad it is just the opposite for many who are abused in this world. Thanks so much for what you said about my latest sonnet. LUv, andrea
