a place of retreat
for my weary heart
a soothing offering
from allies and nature
no pretense, just comfort
a soft haven when things get ugly
i cherish this feeling of respite
this contentedness in connection
people, places and things
bringing me joy
without even trying
i can feel the love

Thank you, Clare!
We all need a safe harbor, a haven in which to refresh.
Indeed! 🙂
