SANCTUARY ~ Mona Mehas

a living network of my life protected by white light
layers developed over time for different reasons
I collected pain from those around me
ignoring the issues of my strife

layers developed over time for different reasons
my third eye erupted in white-hot hope
spirit manifested as myself

I collected pain from those around me
coping skills seriously lacking
traits passed down from childhood

ignoring the issues of my strife
I allowed destructive heat to soothe me
interruption was my new normal

layers decayed, lotus blossomed
magical communication mended my soul
learned from never-ending tension
lessons beyond pure existence

magical communication mended my soul
released from perpetual stumbling
I was finally seen and heard

learned from never-ending tension
to hold community close
protection in downy layers

lessons beyond pure existence
guides visit from the other side
create sanctuary to keep me safe
