A secret place, a hidden place
Where all my thoughts can grow
Where life is whole and I am safe
Upon the stone washed shore
A place where none but I have trod
Where sunsets paint a pastel sky
What happens here is in my mind
And ends up writ in ink
All my hopes and all my dreams
Are washed out with the tide
Yet lapping waves that touch my feet
Bring me sweet memories

A vivid picture painted with your words and it feels heartfelt. The first stanza in particular is very touching for me because I relate........."where life is whole and I am safe." This is a very nice write. Thanks for your entry and best of luck!

well done young scholar! you paint some nice pictures here, nice coherent flow . sounds better out loud than it does on the paper. i like the way you break the flow at the end of the second stanza.
good work!!
