And I was used

to clasping palms

to dedicate a prayer.

But now I know two bodies,

can equally compare.

 

Sanctuary

     

Like a ship to its harbour,

or a bird to its nest,

in the arms of my lover

I find complete rest.

Refuge 

Awakening

Leaning back

within your arms,

I found a peace

that wrapped

me round.

It felt familiar

sweet, and dear,

and realized then . . . ,

that He was near

My head upon your shoulder,

our arms are intertwined,

an endless, fleeting moment

that floats within my mind.
