Shed

Not a house
Not a garage
Not a place for tools
I shouldn't be prescriptive 
Yet these have to be the rules

A chair, a lamp 
A heater
A kettle is the max
A place of peace and quiet
So that nothing then distracts

I will allow a volume
I will consume the words
I will restore my whole
With poets and the psalmists
Strive to elevate my soul

Turn away all of the gadgets
Turn connection down to null
Turn my mind to still and quiet
Volume up on natural 
Orientate myself to try it

We all need a sacred harbour
We all need that peaceful place
We all need to sit and dwell
To pursue the 'inner sanctum'
So internal noise will quell

Do you hear me when I say this
Do you sense the inner call
Do you long to calm the din
Find that place and don't deny it
For that space is deep within
