Vitamin Sanctuary


There is a sanctuary,
to which I turn
when other temples fail me.


Its walls, drab white.
Its furnishings,
the standard bathrom type.


But within this silent space
I find a small light
high and unwavering
that calls to me,
always calls to me,
calls me again and again.


I answer,
and look up.


I am often on my knees,
sometimes sitting against the far wall,
seeing things so far removed from this place
that the only familiarity is the sound
of my own breath -


A reminder that my life goes on.
