A Poetic Description
 
 A place of fulfillment,
of expression, of sharing,
Laughter fills the halls,
leaping from mouths
that also sob for what is,
what has been,
would, could be.
Demons are unleashed,
set free,
allowing for breathing room in our hearts.
We have aired our dirty laundry,
confessed shameful secrets
through pursed, soured lips.
     And are thought nothing less
     for our pasts.
A place of growth and exploration,
of bonds formed
and support established.
A place of trust, of safety,
of healing and moving forward.
