Sanctuary Finds Me (Thursday Think Tank from Poets United)

This is my first time writing a poem in the Thursday Think Tank from Poets United. I’m not entirely sure I am “doing it right”… but here are my words, my take, today on Sanctuary.

The photos were ones I found on my flickr photostream: one, a tradition sanctuary space and another, a space where I feel sanctuary. And now that I think of it, my poem describes a sacred moment which feels safer than any specific space when I am there.

I wish I could write something like

“Sanctuary is in his arms and his ever

accepting, unconditional love of me”

but alas, my soles are in reality

and I know, I know in between

the pulses of my heart…

My Sanctuary begins in saying

Hello and let’s go and let’s grow

And moving with this flow that

Bursts through me, this word flood

Gate this colorful, emotionally,

Smells great and is tender and

Naughty and loud and silent

My Sanctuary is wherever I

Create in the center of the

Pulse of this exact time in

This exact place there, here

 

Do you feel it?

 

Inhale – feel it?

 

I am grateful I can write

My Sanctuary is wherever I

Create in the center of the

Pulse of this exact time in

This exact place there, here

Now - Santuary finds me

My fav lines were:

Hi Julie, it seems our sanctuaries are somewhat similar, I like the flow and you have some great passages, particularly the last verse.

[Jingle]

elegant words.
reality and fantasy have gaps,
I am glad that yours are simply being able to create, express, and love.

Julie,
Welcome to this Thursday Think Tank.
Your words were very calming and a pleasure to read. A feel of sanctaury was obvious.
Wonderful.
Best wishes,
Eileen

Julie, I like the concept of sanctuary being wherever you create...and in the here and now! Nicely expressed.

[Diane]

Julie, I like the idea of you being able to find your own sanctuary, wherever you want it. Significent poem!
