Safe Haven
We gather from all corners
travel...far and wide
a meeting place where poets
share tidbits of the...
heart
Scribbles of our heartsongs
when muse and pen engage
poetic thoughts in motion
ballet 'cross...
each page
Comfort zone, safe haven
where we can be ourselves
with friends who really listen
when cruel world shuts...
us out
Bonds that make us stronger
compassion without end
heartstrings sewn together
with threads of no...
pretend
Safe place to let the tears fall
from heartache, pain, despair
where freedom of expression
is like a breath...
of air
Giggles from the belly
hop a friendship train
understanding, kindness
joining of the...
hands
Acceptance of all color
a welcome atmosphere
heart and soul connections
to last through many...
years
Quiet time in garden
sweet roses planted there
in memory of a loved one
bow heads in silent...
Prayer
Dreams that once lay buried
resurface, come to life
friendship seeds that nurture
allowing wings to...
fly
When bottled up emotion
seek to find relief
quills are dipped in inkwells
escape with sweet...
release
We dance in celebration
weep when sadness calls
help lighten heavy burdens
lift friends who sometimes...
fall
All linger in the parlor
morning, noon and night
feed upon the written word
digesting every...
bite
Precious are the mem'ries
treasures to behold
love 'n hugs, world over
as each new day...
unfolds
We travel from all corners
distances...far and wide
to share our deepest passion
small tidbits of the...
heart
