Places of Refuge
By Bobbie Troy
where are
the places of refuge
where we can feel safe
from the world
and ourselves
where we can
hide from the shadows
that seek us
the memories of darker times
where are the places of refuge
that protect us
from all that was
and what might be
where no harm can cross
the safety border
to haunt our minds and bodies
I really like this poem. Very well stated.
You find the words to speak my mind. Thank you.
if only we could answer that question!

Wonderful and concise, as always. Thanks.
It’s times like this that we all should be looking. Scary.
Great poem, Bobbie.
Thank you, everyone!!
