Refuge
At this exquisite stage of aging's wisdom,
When we've swept our hearts clean of time's debris,
Used our spirits' selves to sweep away our selfishness,
We've discovered that creating a space together,
Locating a refuge, in each other's hearts,
A place to nurture a state of communion, belonging,
Is the only way we can take the here and now with us,
Wherever, whenever we go,
And live in the future's moment, moment to moment.
