That Secret Place That Glows

That Secret Place That Glows



       Now alone she ponders the persuasive reality of emotive vulnerability

     The stranger vanished while magical moments persisted and lingered on

    Sleight of hand is a nemesis obliged to invoke the dynamics of incongruity

   Undeterred are elements of rapture like sand dunes on a distant blue lagoon

   Instants in retrospect revealing acts of what transpired provokes no surprise

    Depicting scenes of tough roller coaster rides and confrontations with woes

      Seeking solace from failed endeavors the heart harkens to own the prize

        Courage trump defeat leading her love to that secret place that glows
