After so many years of building barriers, digging trenches,
Setting stone, and preparing to do battle,
You breached the walls, broke the seals and smashed the locks
Where I had taken refuge.

Your warm smile and gentle words of encouragement
Made me take pause and ponder.
I laid down my Shield, sheathed my sword, and removed my armor.

You touched me where I used to live, and amazed,
I found that I was still at home.
