Inner Sanctum

At once I was confronted with loneliness
and it was my companion

At once I was faced with living alone, living through the memory of you
and that can never be ‘ok’

At once I saw this home for what it really was
a reminder, an empty shell for what used to be

This is a time for absolution, for seeing things as they are
for seeing what people stand for and for what you can endure

Dark hallows of the heart change
and reaching in, move forward

Allow yourself
to love again

To face fear and know
love is with us

In spirit, in body and in mind
just waiting for you to notice

That it’s been here
this whole time
