sanctuary
sanctuary again
in bed
in sleep
inside silence:
my bedroom door
the aegis
from life
damned life.

the door is a heavy burden to cloak you from life. i've certainly known that sense of being in a safe small space. i know that the difficulties that there are won't disappear but i have found that locating something truly good and allowing its features to more fully and entirely in my focus allows me to deal with all the rubbish much better. steven
