soul,
world-weary
and
battle-scarred,
fly across
the planes
of time
and
existence
to find
a gentle
haven
in my
love

take rest
now from
the keeper
of this
lonely
inn of
life
and find
that your
trials
are not
in vain

that they
serve
only to
strengthen
you

rest here
for a
moment
or for
an
eternity
here, in
this place,
they
are one
and the
same

but, no
matter
how long
you take
your refuge
here
you will
emerge
as does
the
phoenix
from the
ashes
of her
death

proud
strong
alive

you will
leave this
place
ready
again to
face the
trials
of
life
with power,
wisdom
and knowledge

and
soul,
you will
be
loved

for the
keeper will
know your
name
a name
he
has longed
to hear

the
name
of
love
