Notes About The Poem

Sanctuary

Quote: "Remember, the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you" -- Rumi 

In the tremors of the earth's gentle dance,
Our sanctuary senses the rhythmic trance.
A haven we seek, when foundations quake,
Shelter we crave, refuge we make.

In the echoes of chaos, a longing is born,
For a sanctuary of love, steadfast and warm.
A fortress against the tremors within,
To shield from insecurity, loneliness akin.

I dream of a haven, a sanctuary divine,
Where love's embrace is an unbroken line.
In the quake of doubt, a pillar to rely,
A sanctuary of love, where spirits can fly.

When the world rattles with its thunderous might,
Our sanctuary stands, an unwavering light.
A beacon of solace, in the tremulous night,
Guiding our hearts, in love's tender flight.

Oh, sanctuary of love, with walls made of care,
A refuge so strong, a haven so rare.
Against the tempests, we'll weather and cope,
In the arms of love, our sanctuary of hope.
