It is Dangerous

It is Dangerous

It is dangerous to stay at home;

There are dragons to fight

All across the land

Hidden in the people,

Hidden in the houses.

It is dangerous to stay at home;

The dragons seed

Is in all your children,

Hidden by the people,

Hidden in your homes.

It is dangerous to stay at home;

Fighting the dragons

In all your children,

When hidden in your hearts

Hidden in your houses

You haven’t killed your own.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        I am a Safe Place

I am a safe place

Somewhere you can come

 Any time from any where

A door,a latch,no lock

And windows looking out on to, who knows?

A smile when you have none

A tear when you have too many ,

An ear,

Or two, or more

Occasionally-a brain

Sometimes by necessity

A mouth,

And always a heart

Ciches describe me so easily

But that’s not how I came to be here,

Nor you.
