How could I drink from another cup whence I have found that which quenches my thirst?
How could I eat from another plate when I have one that makes me hunger no more?
Each time I walk this path, the trees unite to give me shade
My sword is sharpened, a shimmer on my blade
The birds sing to soothe my senses
Like a surreal world I see from different lenses
The wind blows and I am refreshed
But each time I have swayed from this path
I have been filled with an empty void
Hollow from that which is shallow
Hiding away from my own shadow
Lost like a needle in a haystack
Wanting and needing
I always return back to my sanctuary
You are my sanctuary
In you I have built my home, my dreams, my hopes my all
Even when you are not there, I still feel you
Like the blood that flows through my veins
Like the rhythm of my heart beat
And anytime I need you
You are just a thought away
In my head, in my heart
My sanctuary
