Sanctuary!

 
Sanctuary!
 
 
Mostly peaceful in me quiet time of humble space
Me “castle” perfect-encased sun and alabaster lace
 
Even, once ago, in me heyday-events through life
Not much askew or scary terrible threatening strife
 
“Mundane!” Ye may errant conclude a lamented confession
“Don’t judge a book by its cover” Admonishment concession
 
A hundred miles oft myriad-treks across blue-time ten plus three-score
Wondrous sights, touched heaven yonder, dared call upon any ole door
 
Whisper-tender caress-soft, taste passion-Love sweetness emotion
Memory-harvest all beauty-pure secured in promise-bond devotion
 
Embraced summer-awesome thunderstorm hot-white jagged etch
Elk herd at tree line dusk mountain-lake captured in pencil-sketch
 
Lived yonder-blue just south below bright high sun noon
Some shadow-west beyond alabaster pale-orb full moon
 
Appreciated Rocky Mountain summit peak white-snow draped
Camped cascade-crystal stream in valley-low midnight escaped
 
In me time and sacred space reciprocated Mother Nature’s Love!
Tender-planted ten thousand-plus trees for home to mourning dove
 
North wind cold-howled chill against the fireplace banked flame
Spun wild yarns adventure-filled of horses full-moon ride game
 
Walked on yonder-land across the east wide pond continent
Viewed desert-sandscape wind-sculpted painted monument
 
And, Touched God’s heaven through soft eyes caressed Pacific-blue
Love! Stole me heart golden sunset coast-Oregon escarpment knew
 
No measured distance-space to Sanctuary!-bliss need me physical go travel
So many traces, paths and by-ways interwoven never to a-purpose unravel
 
For I have come and been and some instant gone on to a challenge ’morrow
Me secret along treasure-memories of pleasure-life absent lamented sorrow
 
Amen!
