May 2014
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.
