In these troubled times I am purposefully building myself a “community of safety” in which I and those in my community can feel safe to be our authenic selves and express ourselves freely without fear of judgment.
not to keep people out,
but to gather those I love
to safety within.
Inside the wall,
we live unmasked,
love without limits,
speak without fear.
Outside,
hatred rages,
lies strike and settle
on minds closed to truth.
The end is coming -
of life as I knew it,
of peace as I dreamed it,
of the world as I wished it.
So here remains:
me,
him and me,
me and mine,
the ones I trust,
bound together -
through truth,
with love.

Sanctuary
I’m building a wall,not to keep people out,
but to gather those I love
to safety within.
Inside the wall,
we live unmasked,
love without limits,
speak without fear.
Outside,
hatred rages,
lies strike and settle
on minds closed to truth.
The end is coming -
of life as I knew it,
of peace as I dreamed it,
of the world as I wished it.
So here remains:
me,
him and me,
me and mine,
the ones I trust,
bound together -
through truth,
with love.
