Sanctuary

Until you learn to treat your body like a sanctuary

And let those smiles congregate on the altar of your face

Do not shield yourself from the sun when it rains

Allow your skin soak deep

Let it simmer through every fiber of your being

You don’t need a crown to be called queen

Look inside, for you were ordained by time itself

Give way for those wrinkles when they come

Do not drive them away

Make a pattern with every line when they stretch

Absorb the lightning on your skin and everywhere within

Make peace with your dimples

Let them be the resting place for hope

Drop the weight from off your shoulders

And let your chest dance to the melodies o the wind

Trust me, with this you’ll live younger
