Sanctuary

The place that welcomes you with open arms as the rest of the world brutally shoves you aside.

The love that warms your core as everything else freezes your soul.

The redolence of fresh dough metamorphosing itself into a scrumptious scone.

The skittering of your golden lab’s nails scraping against the tile with each stride

coming to greet you

ecstatic to meet you at the door

appearing on the horizon like sunshine peeking over the land to smile.

Comfort

The sound of your loved one’s mouth opening into a smile as her lips part to show glowing white teeth.

Her natural scent, smelling like an ocean breeze

carrying with it the carelessness and relaxation of oscillating salt water

that she has become desensitized to,

but you notice more than any amount of aromal perfume.

The sight of her like the Patronus Charm in a sea of Dementors.

Her silhouette in your rustic, beaten-down doorway

shadowed by the 2:00 sun behind them which longs to envelop her

causing your heart to flutter as your mind envisions her face.

Where?

What?

Who?

It can be anywhere, anything, or anyone.

The girl that your heart truly beats for.

The sterling silver engagement that makes you feel like you are needed.

The original run-down apartment that you began life in,

the mere sight causing you to utter the words, “Honey, I’m home!”
