A Woman's Touch

You may not know the sanctuary of
A library in an unknown town but I
Learned to take refuge for the sake of love,
Did even with young children, and still try,
With children grown and gone, remembering
Familiar feelings in strange places much
The same through changes, elements to cling
To, reference points consistently in touch
Among the stacks and pages turning. See,
What I believed in changed against me but
The changes less around and more in me.
Now I retrace from place to place less what
I tried for love consistently to fit
Beyond belief now changed thus changing it.
