Sanctuary

George Chow 1976 (台灣)



I am in a sanctuary,
repeats my type..
repeats Ancient time,
put all those wars in gap.
until He leaves..
And the Son had been..
be seeded..
i won't be there,
to cherrish all that you filled,
fleshes and blood..
and the fruit..
You fortold again no fear.
as never meant for me,
to exist in your words,
that this is the sanctuary,
i remember, familiar, and will.
Lasts.
