-Sanctuary

I have a curious mind
About humans and their life’s
As I correspond with PS poets
I wonder where they reside?

Do you live in a house in suburbia
Or an apartment in a busy city
On a farm or ranch in the country?
With nature so captivating and pretty

Or are you beside the ocean?
In a cottage overgrown with thistle
Perhaps in a huge mansion
With all the bells and whistles!

Maybe you are a nomad
Your home on wheels and mobile
Or live in a boat on the water
Or is off grid more your style?

Do you just have a room?
Maybe a flat or a retirement home
Or high up in the mountains
In a commune or all alone?

Do you reside in a dry hot desert
Or in the alps covered with snow
Or by a babbling brook?
Where fresh water trickles and flows

Maybe you are a free spirit
Living life in a tent
Is your home your sanctuary 
Do you feel safe and content?

I live in a house in the suburbs
One street back from the sea
I love my home and where I live
It is “my” sanctuary ….
