Sanctuary

Enough of this incessant chatter!
Is there anyone out there that can speak without making a noise
and leaving the next victim in a state of disrepair
and despondency?
 
Oh, for the quiet and solitude
that surrounds you - 
the warmth you give
revives my weary heart.
 
You may not realise 
or perhaps you do,
but you are important to me - 
a part of my life that I do not wish to lose.
 
So, I pray to the Lord God that hears my prayers,
please let it be - 
let him stay with me...
