Hey guys, I am glad to participate in this dreem-wotw contest by @samsmith1971.
The prompt for this month is SANCTUARY.
Many words can describe the word SANCTUARY, but I choose to go with a place of refuge, a haven. So, I made a poem, the poem is borne out of my sadness and frustration because of the pitiable condition of man. But have I lost hope? Where can I find refuge? In a world of no peace, where can I call a haven? Could it be in someone?
A POEM ON SANCTUARY
Depression fills the air
Recession all through the year.
Explosions, hardship, bad news now we hear
We all live in fear
Of death that’s very near
Even if our lives are very dear*.
Our state is one of pity
From bad to worse describes our city
Our lands are no longer pretty
Instead they are now filthy
Once, we thought we are giants
Now we know and accept we are mere ants*
Even if I drown in the oceans of trouble
And challenges abound like stars in the skies
My soul shall view them as blessings in disguise
For it knows I shall be strengthened double
Surely, my nadir shall end up as one good story,
For the God of love is my Sanctuary*.
The most fulfilling of paths is often hidden behind the veil
Of ignorance, irony and of futility of men.
What good shall my funny self do then
With my intellect regarded as too weak and frail?
My being shall behold and tread the path of glory
For the God of light is my Sanctuary*.
When I finally sleep in death,
And my body lies cold, six feet in clay
To where shall I be awaken on the final day?
Not to a world full of hate, badness and dirt
But to a life of bliss shall I wake, with no need to worry
For the God of life is verily my Sanctuary*
God is indeed my Sanctuary. I have taken refuge in the God of my salvation.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate your visit.

Charming the poem and emphasizing the best sanctuary that we can all have, our God of Love and strength. In Him we will always have a safe haven, where we can trust and be at peace. Certainly humanity walks further away from God every day and it is unfortunate that it is so. But thanks to Him, we can have the strength to remain firm in our mission. Enchanted my loving dreamer. Hugs.
Thanks so much, I agree perfectly. God alone can give us rest. In him is our hope of glory and no matter what life presents, anyone who rests his/her hope on God will never be disappointed. Thanks again
Fantastic poem. I wonder about the pitiable condition of man and is it not equally and oppositely great and fantastic? For we live in a duality that surrounds us everywhere.
It is so heartbreaking, but trusting in God, our Sanctuary will help keep hope alive
I think God is revealing himself more each day, so it is good to have faith. 🙂
Your poems reminds me of this scripture 'for the love of God is greater than life itself '.
I know we are going through turbulence in our country and the news of raids, explosions, and insecurities, filters the news everyday, but we will always seek sanctuary in God, for He cares for us.
Lovely Poem @adoore-eu . Thanks for sharing.
You are right with that bible quotation. Surely, God is our secure height and a refuge. It will be well with us

And I'm back... and I have had a chance to reread your poem... and it is beautiful and poignant, Adore💗. Sublime surrender to God's love, God's light, and to an eternity of blessings: true sanctauary. We are surrounded by misery, corruption, and chaos in this world but we can always take heart in that we always have Him to fall back on. He is the one constant. There is an acknowledgement of what we have to confront each and every day in this world, often in our own daily lives, but a greater recognition that these things are supficial overlays for beneath the veil lies something far more meaningful. Lovely entry.
