That Impenetrable Place


Poem Artwork

 I made a place in my mind 

A place that only I can find 
This place of mine 
Rich as velvet and wine 
Is so divine 

When life's grey and cold 
And new struggles unfold 
I'll call to mind 
Warmth of velvet and wine 
I'll be fine 

My heart may be blue 
My smiles may be few 
But in my mind 
There is velvet and wine 
And it's mine 

Life can bring what it may 
To cause an affray
It won't undermine 
Vibrant velvet and wine 
My own design.

every once in a while, for a short time, we all need that special 'get away' place

Such a place sounds dreamy and kinda steamy. Such velvet needs to be shared.

Nothing matches having that "centered place" for inner retreat.
Nicely said, Ruan. Love the pic!
Peace,

Our own designs are usually the best.
