Sanctuary

Run to cover, shelter from

The fire-belching dragon who

Would have your face for breakfast and

Consume your flesh at dinnertime.

 

Holding faith with vigilance

In stalwart measure, self-assured,

Tasting of adrenaline rushing,

Pumping to the bone.

 

No one knows where courage musters,

Cannot guess the origins of

Fight or flight, wrong or right.

Still it finds us in the dark.

 

Let me be your sanctuary.

Let me still your angry skies,

Be your comfort and protector

When the monster storms your gate.

 

We will face the beast together,

Sword and lance held to the sky.

Two as one, invincible,

Striding out to find our fate.
