A Place of Refuge

To hide and not get caught,
rest instead of run,
be lost instead of found,
feel safe where no one else does--

somewhere I can think,
talk to myself,
A place so secret--

I search for this place that I know and trust,
But I don’t know anywhere or anyone to trust,
Or even if I trust myself with anywhere I go or anyone I know.

A place so secret--
in the dark, the cold, the night.
