Secret Place Poem by Chrissy Horning

Far beyond life's tragedy
There is a place I have yet to see...
Yes, this is the place for me.

My mind is hazy and my thoughts are dim
But a sudden force pulls me in...
Now my dream can begin.

In my mystic paradise there's no pain
No cloudy days or dismal rain...
No agony and heartache to sustain.

Only ecstasy and blissful things
The sun will glitter and the birds will sing...
And good news is all the messenger will bring.

I will only shed happy tears
No tears of rage or sorrow or fear...
And those around me will smile with cheer.

Unfortunately now I must return
To the place where faces are cold and stern...
And my heart is left to slowly burn.

When reality is unbearable to face
And I cannot fill the empty space...
I will always take comfort in my secret place.
