TIMELESS REFUGE

TIMELESS REFUGE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Weathered trees rise out of the earth, brushing against the sky.  The wind sends a shudder of movement through the branches causing the majestic trees to creak and groan as they sway.  In the distance is a cabin, timeworn and dilapidated. 

in the heart of woods
ancient cabin stands alone
whispers of time flow

Refuge in the pillow

Rain today has stripped the sky of its clouds 
I am forced to seek refuge in the pillow 
Books and cactus all enveloped in a shroud 
Life may well be priced at a dollar per kilo

I fed my pride by killing loves, seeking refuge in the cold of my gaze

I fed my pride by killing loves, seeking refuge in the cold of my gaze,
And I accept the sentence of winter that embraces my soul with icy claws,
A jester to many, an inspiration to few, I was an actor on the gods' stage,
I comported myself both fearfully and nobly, seeking a truth hidden among the

Promised Refuge

I once made you a promise
So long ago it seems a lifetime
Never again would you have
To face the darkness alone 

It was a promise I would repeat
With each spiral and dark descent
I would never run away
No matter how much you expected it

Eventually you said goodbye
And it shattered me to pieces
But that promise never left me
Even

One With the Night

I cherish the night.
Its’ silent darkness surrounds me
like a soft blanket
and I snuggle deeply within it.

Its gentle atmosphere
hovers above me and calms my thoughts
like a shield of protection
from the consequences of the day.

Its’ quiet, calm,
reassurance that the day's bustle has ended,
and that peace and rest are promised
in the interlude before morning.

My fears are quelled,
my hopes

In the labyrinth of warmth, I sought refuge in the cold room of frozen memories

In the labyrinth of warmth, I sought refuge in the cold room of frozen memories,
From the cold room, I fled to the coffin of unspoken promises,
And from the coffin? Only the bare hands of time bury constellations in the soul,
Though coffins are perhaps the cheapest homes in real estate listings,
No cell is lonelier than a

Refuge


Darkness surrounds me.
No moon or stars to guide me.
I am lost with no hope.
The path is narrow and the journey long.
Perils and predators lurk in the black forest.
In the midst of my gloom, I stumble into a clearing.
A warm light beckons me.
A comfortable cabin awaits me.
My steps quicken to reach the door.
A rush of restored

My Dwelling Place

Yes this is My dwelling place
My dear Jesus said today
My place of strength and refuge
In all My trials that I must face
Father God please guide my footsteps
In the way that they should go
Show Me courage for each step
Courage that only You would know 
I know You're praying for Me
So somehow that I would see
That You

An Artist Refuge

Slava Ukraini!
shroud the gallery's glass doors,
a solitary scene of grazing goats,
greets the guests along with music.
Confident, brush strokes curl muted
colors of rustic farm houses
behind broken, split-rail fences
on a cloudy Carpathian
day drawn by an artist sitting
in ruined, ravished Kherson -
a limping dog of a city
with patches of bare skin showing.
Other pictures, different story;
dark, dreadful, desolate people

The Lord is my refuge, my strength, and everyday He always leads the way, through every storm, and valley I praise His Holy name. I have no reason to tremble or fear, for His presence surrounds me, and He is always near.

Time after time, He’s proven He cares, in

IN YOUR REFUGE GOD

Hey God, if I can’t take her, take her,
My heart’s a grave, don’t wake her, wake her.

Her laughter stings like glass in the veins,
If she's poison, let it break her, break her.

Nights fall heavy, shadows dance and mock,
If love’s a joke, just make her faker, faker.

I’ve chained my soul to her absent touch,
If I’m the
