Sanctuary

Let me go/let me be/let me retreat to my sanctuary/ of thoughts so powerful they collide/past my anxious brown eyes/past the seeing blind/bending time/as there's really no end/there's really no beginning/there's really no fill in/there's really no deep end worth feeling/as I try healing/ and bringing life to the four corners of my mind/that's outright out of it's mind/practically hard to unwind/to rewind/to recite/to rewrite/to invite/to sit tight/but my mind is mine to get lost in/when I begin/crawling to my sanctum, my peace/my therapy/the place where I get back all of me

Thank you so much Jehiel and absolutely. I will be honest; I had taken about a 5-year hiatus and became unrecognizable to myself and my pen. This is me currently me getting back into the spaces of myself. I am excited to be writing again.

I like it very much. Are you aware that you have a "/" symbol at the end of every verse instead of a new line character? It is ok if you did it intentionally. ~Max

Hi Maximilian :) Thank you for reading my poem and I am glad you liked it. Yes, I also did intentionally add the "/" symbol to each line. Just wanted to explore different dynamics in crafting a poem at the time (it was poem I did for an exercise for my then poetry class).

Thanks for sharing this... Welcome to PS. Meanwhile, I welcome you with the love of God. According to the Bible's John 3:16,"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
