Sanctuary

Small, smiling sleepers
Worn out from chasing apples
Sleep in safety, resting on their mother.
My heart is in that straw
That the piglets snuggle into
A blanket of peace
Unlike the others.
I’m so happy for a moment
But it shouldn’t be momentary
Peace should not be isolated,
Should not be secondary
To suffering as standard,
Substandard living –
Please give the others
Sanctuary.
