A Secret Place



A Secret Place







I have a hiding place where I can gather strength



Fortify, regroup, and carry on.



No one else can find it since they've not been there



And never realize when I am gone.



I crawl into my inner self and dream awhile,



Imagining a world without a tear,



A place that offers me the comfort that I crave,



With warmth and love and peace that's always near.



Music: Someday My Prince Will Come









Author's Notes/Comments: 

Even as a child I had the ability to imagine a different world at command.  If I was bored or had to wait quietly for any length of time, I daydreamed a new scenario for myself.  I still do it now, but I call it brainstorming for a plot for my stories.

Wow, what a moving and awe inspiring write.
The words create a picture unlike our harsh reality.
Reminds me of the feeling I get when inside my secret place.
Well done!
God Bless you

I think we all need our "Secret Place" to maintain our sanity.
