Yet No

Calm, bucolic smells waft along the warming air
as birds flit and flurry in the vapoured light,
sandstone stout and stoic
holds water
better than any argument,
so quiet this pastorale
a place of beauty and refuge
midst the maddening world,
yet no true sanctuary
without you.

    Yes, places give us refuge, but people, true sanctuary. Right on, Paul.
    And this is a beautiful place!

    I have felt this juxtaposition – to be in a place of awe and wonder, and at the same time longing for the one you wish you could share it with. Beautiful
