Sweetest sanctum ~

The reasoning in safely closing my eyes at day's end

          embracing the kiss of morn in the awe of dawn,

the sanctuary that keeps me grounded

   where beauty grows 'tween the cracks of darkness

             & logic and senses discern life's poetry, 

          sacred haven of every desired whim & thought

a port when life gets stormy, pure beacon of light,

     breathing in symbiotic perfection of salty sea sprays

 sanctum of escaped prayers answered inkind, 

     lifting me to a higher power's spiritual holy place

    impervious refuge when the world seethes perpetual fire,

relinquishing all turbulent fears and doubts

     rescue in release's invulnerable intentions, 

        unfurling in this retreat of sweet absolution's surrender

Breathtakingly beautiful piece girl... the music is so powerful and moving.. the words are like lyrical honey... sweet and satisfying... The flow and melody of ideas just lift the soul higher and higher towards that sanctuary... we all need that "port in the storm" to escape to when times get rough... The peace of mind to close our eyes and drift to a place where the worries and pains disappear for a moment... a place where those desires and whims can thrive between the cracks of life's darkness... where survival isn't on the menu--LIVING is.... a place of bliss and spiritual soothing.. where it feels as if our prayers have been answered and we are for one small moment not afraid, not hurting, not doubting, not hiding in the dark... the light shines brightly and the soul thrives in the warmth... a place where you don't feel weighed down with the worries of the world... writing can be such a place... dreams another... I escape off into my music and my head.... but whatever that "sanctuary" may be---it is needed.. and should be cherished as the life-saver that it is... can I just say freaking WOW..... this is beyond beautiful... it feels like a spiritual healing... stunning in every way... it tickles my heart with rays of angelic iridescence and welcoming warmth... amazing as always....

There is a tranquility in this poem that I love, Frieda. Finding the beauty that grows between the cracks of darkness - not only a gorgeous image, but a wonderful philosophy!
