Refuge

once broken,
            now renewed,
                   the thought
                   of you
a place
            where i take
          refuge,
your seams,
my scars,
the legacy
          of those
who loved us,
         our victories
                  and defeats
slowly
                  converging,
our stories
         merging
                   into one,
basking
                in the winter
         sun,
the pieces
of me
             no longer
                 broken,
       and all of me
at long last
whole,
a crackle jar
of ancient
     beauty,
the mysteries
of life
no longer
          seeming
               to need answers,
and you,
                 beloved friend,
my hand in yours,
as we both
mend,
and life begins
again,
a song
        of love
        and joy
that never
                        end.

~Danielle Steel
