My Special Place

 

Everyone has a special place…
A top secret dwelling where
thoughts and beauty come alive
and the tenderness of love
can flourish and survive.

Everyone has a special place…
where inner warmth takes hold
in the beauty of a flower,
or the smell of the wet wind
on the coolness of an April shower.

Everyone has a special place…
Where all is quiet and still
and feelings can flourish and form.
Where the world of the mind is a magical
place where fantasy and reality are torn

Everyone has a special place…
Where no one can hurt us or touch us
So have I and so have we all.
The barrier is thick and strong
and comfort resides behind a wall.

Everyone has a special place…
Where they become trapped and lost.
Traveling distances far and wide
or searching the pages of a book
looking for places we can hide

Everyone has a special place…
and with a few chosen words
you turned the key to my space
and challenged the lock that held
the mystery of my special place

Everyone has a special place…
I want to invite you in mine,
having a smile upon your face
as you take my hand and grow with me
while we walk within my special place.
