Sanctuary If you fall helpless beneath the winds and rains of sorrow, I will lift you up with wings of glory to sail your beginning from the sting of end When the shadows descend upon your brow and night refuses to greet the day, when the birds outside your window pain limp the ground in flightless free, my smile will shelter you If your dreams are shattered from your mind and hope is out of touch, I will kneel beside you and pick the pieces up from the floor to give them life again If ever you feel persecuted by the venom lies of tongues That lick at the walls closing in, I will sweep away the tears from the hillside of cheeks and remove your crown of thorns so you shall bloom once more If you long to hear a word that is dear, just rest your head upon my breast and listen as my heart serenades that I am here for you If you become blinded by the chasm of solitude, the calm of my light shall entwine your lashes to adorn your sight that you are never alone I am that fresh drink of truth sipping of your breath in ask filtering the sweet from the sour to replenish your soul in cleanse, that I am your angel, your sanctuary If you should find that you are lost all you need to do is turn around and take my hand, I will guide you home By Melissa P.
