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.

Enjoyed this much...we do each need a safe haven. Loved the poetic beauty of this write. I recently posted a poem, A Haven...My Space. This write was about my haven, my home...it is easier to have faith, stay prayed up, seek God's face and be encouraged while in our safe haven, however it is also a great place to draw spiritual strength that we must have to survive outside our havens. Enjoyed this, great write my friend.
