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

Hi
Thank you for your poem.
I don't consider myself a poet, however I did recently come across the weekly poetry slam challenge. Perhaps you would like it.
I will link one submission I made here as your piece resinated with the one I wrote a few weeks ago.
