" Refuge "

once broken, now renewed,
the thought of you a place where i take refuge,
your seams, my scars,
the legacy of those who loved us,
our victories and defeats slowly converging,
our stories merging into one,
basking in the winter sun,
the pieces of me no longer broken,
and all of me at long last whole,
a crackle jar of ancient beauty,
the mysteries of life
no longer seeming to need answers,
and you, beloved friend,
my hand in yours,
as we both mend,
and life begins again,
a song of love and joy
that never end.
