harbor

I will keep my eyes upon you
above all else
minding not the storm
or thirst for
light

hands circled around hope
waiting joyfully
for a comforting touch
gateway
to a better place

hold me
as I have held you
in the sublime
sanctuary
of the heart

There was a haunting beauty behind her eyes, beyond her sorrow, a beauty that found its way into one’s heart and led them home.
