The Secret Place

(Picture Credit: A Secret Place by Matthew Watkins)

There is a secret place

That I'll like to go

Every now and then

and be on my own.

Away from the frazzles

of the everyday

Or the dazzles

that'll always wade away

To just be in the moment

witnessing the birth and death

Of every new minute

and every soulful breath

Never one the same

and why should they be

The only one real minute and breath

is the one now with me

This secret place will be there

Even when I stray

Waiting for me

If I only choose to stay
