Sanctuary

Sanctuary is safety

Whether from people or mind

Go and close the door after you

Leave all of your troubles behind

Peacefulness and tranquillity

Somewhere so soothing and calm

Let them rage outside the door

Here is where you are safe from harm

Let the love flow over your body

Allowing you space to meditate

Cleansing you of all the hurt inside

Washing away all the pain and hate

Having somewhere to escape to

Being able to shut and lock the door

Sanctuary, safety  protection

Never to feel pain no more.
