Sestina: Sanctuary (in progress)

May my crimson heart bleed sanctuary
and the soul of another find peace
in my solitary war. We each fight
with mighty trials alone.
And our dark hearts bleed black tears
until we find our own purest truth.

But tears pour truth for our heart's fight
and we struggle for peace alone.
And in dark crimson twilight, tears
fall. In dark hours of regimen truth
fails. When we seek truest sanctuary
do we struggle yet find peace.

But peaceful sanctuary is not free of tears.
And celebrate we shall when we know truth.
Far from dark dour is holy sanctuary
and here we know Truth's peace.
Deep in the dark-hearted fight
we must battle the war-storm alone.

Alone, fight to know truest sanctuary,
for security in solitary self is peace.
But how long must we endure the fight
for security in ourselves alone?
By struggle and hurt and tears
will ever we know purest truth?

Yea! Truth cries tears as we fight
against our dark hearts alone
and challenge our own tears
or say they are without truth.
Cry, weep, and struggle for sanctuary.
Our undeniable cry is for peace.

Peace be sanctuary with or no tears.
Find ye sanctity in thine own truth.
The battle for self's sanctuary
is won in the crimson heart's own peace.
Go and battle your fight.
Find truest being alone.

Alone cry truth.
Fight for your own peace.
Tear at your heart; weep tears for sanctuary.
