Sanctuary Seekers (An Original Poem; about the mutual healing of the acceptance of refugees)

Asylum seekers

Asylum; meaning Sanctuary

Sanctuary seekers

seeking humankind

human kindness


compassion


empathy


safety within the basic needs for survival


I have a swag, a mattress, a couch


I have enough food and water to share


Come and stay with me


I would be honoured to have you, your family within my home




Refugee, you are a gift to our society


An opportunity to diversify our thoughts

to diversify 
our language


to broaden our consciousness and the shed light upon the dark unknown we are all fearful of


I wish to absorb your external chaos with my external hospitality in knowing you will balance my internal chaos with your internal resolution in the necessity for change.

Refugee

Sanctuary seeker

Will you come and save me
