I live in the shell of my body,
though it houses me very well,
I can walk to my deep secret places-
and when I'm there, no one can tell.
In this shell, I am the ruler,
always coming and going at will,
wandering far to the ocean
or top of a green, grassy hill.
Away to my playground of words...
for minutes or hours, I may hide.
While my shell is busy at living,
I am walking away deep inside.
I'm walking away to follow
wherever great words lead me to,
and then, from those deep secret places,
I will bring back a poem or two.
