Sanctuary
Rasmus Berggren 2002 (Linkoping)
I am sitting in this park
on a worn down bench.
It is beautiful.
The willow tree right above me, cascading it's branches around me like it wants to protect me from the world
The water lay still in front of me, with the occasional splash from the playing fish
The people who walk by are quite and dignified
It's peaceful
A sanctuary in a chaotic mess
Life might not be all that I say it is
It might be good
Life is at least good here
