In That Corner

You made that corner about it only you know Where in the light and shadow strange things grow That though with you in placental bond breaks in the faintest touch You own them you breed them about them you don’t know much. When storms rage fires burn and the world outside turns grim You find in that corner hope’s beacon healing rains of glorious dream There you retreat from the day’s cauldron to rest in peace and muse Find in that corner a moonlit shade from the night’s dark abuse. You made that corner it’s only yours for anchoring the weary ship From rolling waves and breaking froths in a voyage in marine deep Your ravaged heart finds a berth when the ship runs aground In that corner awaits a sunset place when it’s time to turn homebound.
