Isolation or Sanctuary Home

Isolation or Sanctuary Home

Isolation rips 

waves rush and storm

my sanctuary home

laden with thorns 

rife with bone

amid the foam

and

brown-headed cowbirds

claw to leave their own

alone

in solidarity.

Nothing

in all God’s creation

shines hope as humans do

indomitable

kindness 

finds the good

of quiet time

together

in isolation.
