Find Your Sanctuary

Find Your Sanctuary 

Be it a long sandy beach, the waves crashing upon shore
Or in a deep forest glen, the wonders of nature to explore
Perhaps a long babbling brook will ease your weary mind
Or a quiet country road to travel, leave everything behind

Maybe it is your home, your solemn place to retreat to
With all your loved ones surrounding you, in all you do
Or is it your dearest friend that takes you back in time
Or perhaps you find being alone, solitude so sublime 

Whatever it may be that eases your mortal soul
Transcends you to a better place, makes you whole
Reach out with your heart, find this person, place or thing
Find your own sanctuary and all the tranquility it brings

Charlie, This, so well a written poem in Enclosed Rhyme. I had to think about the subject of my haven. The quiet country road sounds peaceful. Not easy to find sanctuary. -Richard
