You made that corner about it only you know
Where in the light and shadow strange things grow
That though with you in placental bond breaks in the faintest touch
You own them you breed them about them you don’t know much.
When storms rage fires burn and the world outside turns grim
You find in that corner hope’s beacon healing rains of glorious dream
There you retreat from the day’s cauldron to rest in peace and muse
Find in that corner a moonlit shade from the night’s dark abuse.
You made that corner it’s only yours for anchoring the weary ship
From rolling waves and breaking froths in a voyage in marine deep
Your ravaged heart finds a berth when the ship runs aground
In that corner awaits a sunset place when it’s time to turn homebound.
