The hiding place

Go bury yourself in the hiding place

Disappear without a trace

In that deep dark place

Where no one can find you

Says the critic

While deep within the soul says

I am the ocean scape

That looks a lot like oblivion

But is instead

A place of treasures and creation

Here you go and swim with fish

That flow through the ink of a pen

Writing on a page

Bringing words to life

That carry you back towards the self

Lost deep within the hidden place

So long ago

And didn’t your soul hunger for the deep

Sick as it was of the shallows

Reminds the friend

The one who loves

And recognises you from within

So hard sometimes

It is

To know which voice will

Win

Hiding place

Or space of lost and found

Full of colour light and sound

Where joy and mystery abound

Are you really hiding place

Or the space within which

Deeper truth is found
