Sanctum

There is a place inside,
Maybe deep in my heart,
Where I sometimes hide,
When I fall apart.

Many secrets here I keep,
All my feelings, too,
The dreams when I sleep,
And my wishes to come true.

It is where I can go,
When life is just to much,
I let my emotions flow,
And I am out of touch.

I am happy in that place,
Even when my heart is sad,
All the troubles that I face,
Suddenly don't seem so bad.

In this place I can fly,
Way up to the stars,
The moon passes me by,
And I could soar so far.

It is a world of fantasy,
Maybe deep in my mind,
It can take away my misery,
There's no better place to find.

Beautiful write. We all have that happy place we go to, we introspect deep within. Your happy place is described really well. No hate, no sorrow, no pain, and all life's nonsense out of the way. A persons mind is the one thing that is truly his, and as long as he has it, he is free.

I agree, Rohan. The mind holds endless possibilities of freedom, and all we need do is use our imaginations.... Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. I really do appreciate it!

Kelly What a clever and creative write. Everyone needs a place to escape when they can't deal with day to day issues anymore. Dreaming is a great way to lose yourself for a while and feel happy. Nice job Thanks for the wonderful comment on my You Flipped My World poem. Hugs

wow! Kelly, you are right i love this. I don't know this place yet.. I have no peace in me.. No I am not dark..but, I can't seem to find the place where i can be free from it all. I like this place where all your fantasies and feelings roam away from all bad situations... excellent write...Linda
