My Secret Place

I have a place
I like to go
It is like no other space
From woe to go

It is somewhere
That I can sit and think
About the cat that
Used to wink

Or about the time
When I heard a bell
With that extra special chime
That no one could tell

It’s my secret place
Where I like to reminisce
About the times of old
Of times a miss
The secret place in my heart
That I can get away from it all
And have a new start
Apart from it all




Getting back to life
Out of my secret place
There always seems to be strife
In and around this place

My secret place always is
A place for me to go
And to get away from all of this

In my heart
My secret place is
Right from the start
As it always is

Under the old Gum Tree
In our back yard
Where it is not so hard
To find my secret place

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
