It's been a very long time carrying this inside
Long years of comfort tinged with confusion is settled
The absolute security of having a full shine is more direct today
Inside ... there is a haven where you dwell
My safe place
Here where we never guess
Where there is no judgement
No one enters and chaos is never allowed
Not where the spirit of this lover and the soul of her heart reigns
Where we always begin to shine and never pale
In here... in this white hot core ...
This haven
We have our dreams... our way
Infinity seems real
There are no doubts nor repenting and regrets
Here we have taller years
We make better use of time
Our thoughts have credence
Being accountable to one another is ...
Most important
Ethics is more than a word
Here we admit to immortality
We live and hold to every morsel that's positive
Time is tasted
Here values are treasured
Our sorrows are outlived
Tender caresses of faith ... shine
In this haven...our safe place.
This poem "grows" a person from the inside out, like wot love does. Loved the line: "Here we have taller years"... as someone who is height-challenged, this means a lot! :)) Jus kiddin, but that clever expression will stick with me: it says it all in temporal and spatial terms. Wonderful work. TY Kate xx

Your talented mind has constructed, in verse, the houghts (convictions?) of one older than you, Susan. There are parts of it that sipg to me, others comfort me, and still a portion confirming my realization of things immortal. How insigful of your pen and burhs to write the volume and paint the canvas.
