the cove in the hills
held us fast
kept us close
with our lives unmasked
here we breathe
and natural be
while out there
fades to anonymity
and like dancers
to the music we
take comfort
with familiarity
amid the unspoken
ties that bind
a warmth envelopes
soul and mind
a shelter
for a lifetime sought
sweet return
oh haven -
here within
my thought
