Christ Is a Refuge
Christ is a refuge
He takes all the unwanted
He is home to countless
Without home
To the comfortable as well

I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.

This is touching.. so touching! Indeed he is homeless here, but now he gives home to homeless souls. ❤

Thanks for reading both poems with your devout insight. Christ understands the plight of those who feel homeless in spirit as well as place. Christ becomes a refuge for those in need–the kind of need that ultimately we all have.
