I’m infinitely curious but equally breakable
Too soft to bury a truth unmistakable
So I search for the truth but then swaddle a lie
Why stare into hell when you could hide in the sky?
My faith is a phone I dropped down the gutter
When clarity honks my exhaust pipes sputter
Burrowing as deep in the sand as the buildings are tall
Seeing everything demands feeling nothing at all
So I plead wi...

I am here
At my home
Drinking beer
While searching using Google Chrome
I am alone
Sitting and doing nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, but being alone

Hiding Place.
Where is your hiding place?
My hiding place is within myself, I create a safe place and go there when I need.
I go there when life gets too tough, I often sit and day dream of the things I want to see.
I go there when I am sad and imagine a peaceful, serene and secluded lake when all is quiet.
I throw rocks into the lake and watch as they skip across the waters.
I watch the ripples it cre...
Hiding Place
When the day is ending and it’s getting dark outside
It’s back in my home where I will hide
To have some dinner and watch tv
That’s how most evenings look to me
Home can be your hiding place
Where there is no one you need to face
Just relaxing alone
Or talking with a loved one on the phone
A hiding place where you can walk around in sweatpants
And have no obligations at hands
Just relax and c...
Hiding Place
Deep within the valleys
Through the forest trees
Along the sandy beaches
Beside the gentle sea
Between the lively festivals
Along the lightened streets
I can’t help but listen for
Your name whispered in the breeze
Running past the cottages
Trekking through the fields
Laying in the land of dandelions
Two of us hidden in the hills
In love in our own paradise
Counting stars in our own space
No one...
Hiding Place Poem
**Hiding Place**
There’s a hollow in the tall grass,
where the world forgets to look—
a bend between the daylight
and the shadowed edge of brook.
I slip into the silence,
where the willow’s branches lean,
and tuck myself in hidden roots
where all the green goes green.
The air is thick with quiet here,
a secret soft and still.
Even time is hushed, as if afraid
its ticking might spill.
Leaves wh...
Hiding Place
When the world gets too loud
Too bright
Too sharp
Too much
There will always be somewhere that I go
I call it my hiding place
When mommy and daddy have had too much to drink
Or they start arguing
Yelling in each others' face
I creep upstairs
To my favorite spot
Yes, my hiding place
Cocooned under mounds of blankets and pillows
Shielding me from the world
It can't reach my favorite spot
Yes, my hid...
