Precious Shelter

 

The poem “Precious Shelter” in a nutshell

 

We take shelter when we are in need. To give the shelter to someone in need, one requires possessing a good and sound heart and conscience. Nothing other than human love can give birth to such feelings. We all have love or passion for someone or something. In our melancholy moments, they provide us with glee. This poem is placed at the vantage point of such a deserted soul who seeks shelter and gets it in the loving cottage of his/her love or passion. It may be a love for a person; it may be a love for a particular arena or domain, for say, poetry, fine arts, sports, music, books, and dance and so on and so forth. This poem has been given the pattern of a small hut, a dwelling place or a shelter. That is to say, the place may not be well furnished, but it requires love from the core.

 

The poem – “Precious Shelter” – a pattern poem

 

 A

Love

That girds

Me like a guard,

A love that holds me

Tight to break that’s hard,

The love that gives me a pair

Of wings to fly in the rainbow,

The kind of love that does share

Everything not to let me go,

Is precious indeed.

Yes, it is freed

With our deed,

Our loving need.

To the world, I never heed.
