The Hiding Place

The hiding place isn't a corner or a niche
It isn't behind something or out of your vision.
The hiding place is a unique place for every person on this earth.
Some of us find our spot in the nooks of books.
Others in the recesses of their beings.
Some at the back of their smiles.
And some find shelter in a confidant.

Our hiding places are temporary.
As the saying goes, you can run, but you cant hide.
We all come out of our hiding places sooner or later.
But only after receiving all the comfort we could gain from it.
Its our hiding places that allow us to rejuvenate,
To energize and fill you with everything that you're drained of.

In your hiding place, you find inspiration,
motivation to come out again and live.
Our hiding places are our rest points.
Those little motels along the path of a long journey.
Our hiding places are our friends.
Our hiding places can be in God.

Don't be ashamed to hide
We all do at some point.
Because it's not so much the act of hiding from life
than it is the process of seeking introspection or inner healing.
Away from the healing and help of the rest of the world.

More than anything, when we hide,
we turn ourselves inwards and seek shelter in the walls of our skin.
Heart and mind work together to fix the body and the soul.
And once done, you can't contain yourself in your skin anymore.
Out of hiding, free as a bird.
Hiding then, now flying.

Thankyou, my hiding place.
