sanctuary
so far removed
from daily chaos
in a dimly lit atmosphere
occasionally punctuated
with bright faces
laden down with
movable feasts
our eventual escape
finally came into view
a glimmer of hope
slid in next to us
tipping fortune’s favor
onto our plates.
My daughter and I wanted to leave our extended family by 2006, we were longing for our own time, space and adventure. Many hours were spent in local eateries making our getaway plans.
