r e f u g e

a day trip 
is only a thought away.

some days 
some 
thoughts 
have to be pushed away 
for the 
refreshing and the renewing 
memories of pleasant moments 
restful moments 
can 
be
  come. 

so 
i push away
in order 
to make 
way 
for the 
peace
ful
the lovely.

some call it 
sabbath 
but sabbath for me
conjures up 
thoughts of finishing 
up one more sermon
or remembering to 
schedule a meeting.

some call it
vacation
but 
vacations don't come 
around often enough.

some call it days off
and taking off a day
can sometimes 
take 
work.

i'll call it 
refuge 
a tiny refuge 
with all the smells 
and feels of home

refuge 
moments in a day
when i remember
beauty and comfort
and that feeling of 
home.

it's amazing what 
a few moments of 
refuge can offer.
