The Sanctuary

'If it stays, then it is love' - Nichomachus

The Cathedral by Auguste Rodin, Rodin Museum, Paris

It matters not how love begins,

only that two hearts risk all to win

when sprints become a marathon.

*

It matters most that each belongs,

not showy stunts, not scripted songs,

kindness shown a thousand ways.

*

It matters that love endures —

life's poetry that will secure

a sanctuary for souls.
