...Roaring Sanctuaries Poem by Debora Short

It
was during the reign
Of
Letters
And
Words
That those two
Alpha lions
Learned
They
Were
Connected in states of truest grace
By way of the Sun
In heat and light
Their radiance,
Brilliantly
Danced
Into
Purest souls
Yet they
Danced
In circles
Rarely
Acknowledging
One another
Nonetheless
Their
Growing
Light of truest respect
Glimmered
In
Their
Distant
Souls
